one of the strongest relationships
the child held onto her grandmother
knowing she was in safe hands
her mother smiled, glad they had this time
she understood the shortness of life better than most
she loves you, she told her mother
and I love her, her mother replied.
She handed the baby to her daughter.
They had to be going, but they would be back tomorrow
she was glad she lived here now,
having moved closer because of this child
knowing that a working mother with a child needed her own mother
three generations of women, depending on each other
comforting each other, leaning on each other
one of the strongest relationships in an uncertain world
