“Is there anything yu want frm Grandma’s apartment?” My uncle, texting me, last week.
His mum had passed away the week befre, aged 96. He’d begun the painful yet necessary task f dividing her things: keep, sell, dnate.
I answered withut thinking. “Yes, I wuld like her ale (芦荟) in the range pt, please.”
Smetime arund 1975, Grandma received this plant frm a lcal ck as a gift. It culd, I suppse, just be anything like a calendar, r a pen, r a bx f biscuits. But it just happened t be a plant, which Grandma, wh always had green fingers, appreciated and placed in her drway.
Five years later, my mum married the ck’s sn. And had me.
When my father’s mther died in 1993, Grandma tld me hw this plant was different frm the ther nes she had in her hme. It helped t keep a gd relatinship between the tw sides f the family.
In recent years, whenever we visited Grandma’s apartment, I wuld shw it t my children. “Lk at this, it was a gift yur great-grandma bught fr yur ther great-grandma! Befre they became relatives!”
Many times, Grandma gave me cuttings f this plant, in the hpe that I might grw anther. Yet, every time, I failed t take care f my ffshts (分支). Ale is hardy (适应力强). Hwever, if yu ver-water r under-water it, it dies. It desn’t mix well with dgs r under-heated flring. In shrt, with my skills, I’m better ff with a plastic ne frm a supermarket.
But that didn’t use t matter, because I culd ask Grandma fr anther cutting and try again Nw I can’t. S straight after I asked my uncle fr this plant, I came up with the idea: the plant will g and live with Ann, my wife’s mther, wh can grw plants well and keep hld f Grandma’s ale---at least until I can be trusted t lk after its ffshts. Then maybe ne day I can cnfidently place the mther plant in my wn hme. At the same time, Ann will spread cuttings amng her family members, as Grandma used t d.
