My Grandmother
My grandmother was too old that many people thought she should die several years ago. I don’t like when people say like that. I love my grandmother. Her wrinkles mean wisdom and experience in my eyes. She always tells stories about her childhood, and they are all very interesting.
But one day, my grandmother died. Before she was dead, she told my parents that the box in her closet which was left to me. After funeral, my mother gave a brown wood jewelry box. Some gold but old words were on the surface of this box, pandora.
I was too young to understand what it meant. I didn’t open it until the middle school graduation party because I need some jewelry. I touched flower figures on the box, and miss for my grandmother made me sad. I opened it slowly. A lot of jewelry was lying there and waited me to pick. They all have the trademarks of Pandora, such as pandora bracelets, pandora necklace, and pandora chain.
I picked all beautiful jewelry one by one, and they still had the smell of my grandmother. I couldn’t cry again. Then I found a letter under jewelry. This was my grandmother’s handwriting.
Dear Amy,
When you read this letter, it means I have passed away. Don’ t be sad, you know I will always be with you.
This Pandora jewelry box was my mom gave to me when I was married. I can’t wait for your wedding and gave it to you personally, maybe you can wear it on some parties. You must be beautiful when you wear it. You know Pandora from your book; many people still think she is the symbol of disaster in my generation. I like the name, Pandora, so I name it Pandora, pandora charms, pandora earrings and so on. I also hope you like it.
I have lived too long, but you have a beautiful and unexpected future. Be strong, my kid.
Love you!
Granny
I put the box into my closet and smiled to it. I am sure that I will be happy, because I have a strong heart like my grandmother. I made a decision at that moment; I will leave pandora jewelry to my daughter or my granddaughter, because it is not only jewelry, but also it is the love from a gracious elder to her descendent. I have the bless and love from my grandmother, so I will have a strong heart to take a happy life.
