You know exactly what is important to me and close to my heart. I have all the money I need, but the memories you are giving me are precious!”
“But Gerald…” gasped Edith. “I thought you were kicking me out!”
Gerald grinned.
“No such luck!
I’m taking you to Tahiti for two weeks. I think it would do your arthritis the world of good, and I could use some quality time with my mom!”
Edith embraced her youngest — and secretly her favorite son, with tears in her eyes.
He’d understood! Edith knew that her father’s and her husband’s keepsakes would be cherished and passed on lovingly by Gerald.
The two spent a lovely time in Tahiti, and Gerald got himself a tan and even met a lovely girl who was also on vacation and came from New York, and it looked to Edith like maybe she wouldn’t have to wait too long for those grandchildren after all!
