奶奶的爱
We had moved from Cairo to Mt. Vernon, Illinois, away from my grandmother when I was eight years old. I missed her terribly. I was told I was her favorite grandchild;she was my favorite “Granny.” She was my Father’s mother.
八岁的时候,我们一家从开罗搬到了伊利诺斯州的弗农山,从此远离了祖母。我非常想念她。大家说我是她最疼爱的孙女,而她也是我最爱的奶奶。她,是爸爸的母亲。
Two years later my mother and father separated and they were soon divorced. I felt as if my world was falling apart. My heart ached for that part of me that was slipping away. Mother must have sensed my longing, for she would take my little brother and me back to visit my Granny on occasions, even after the divorce.
两年后,爸爸妈妈分居,很快他们便离婚了。我觉得我的世界好像崩溃了。原本属于我生活的一部分正在远去,这让我心痛不已。妈妈一定感觉到了我的渴望,于是她时常带我和弟弟去看奶奶,即使是在离婚之后。
I was always aware Granny loved us. It was something you could feel with your heart, even when your world was turned upside down.
我一直知道奶奶深爱着我们。即使在你的世界被彻底颠覆时,这种爱也是可以用心感受的到的。
She didn’t live in a fancy house or have expensive things, but I never noticed;I just knew she loved me and I loved her back.
她住的房子并不豪华,也没有贵重的东西,但我从没在意过这些,我只知道她爱我,而我也爱她。
We had lived, for a time, next door to her and grandpa in a duplex while my father was away during World War II.
曾经有一段时间,我们和爷爷奶奶一起住在一栋复式公寓,当时爸爸参加了二战。
