Description: A grandmother and her young granddaughter enjoy their visits together. Many of the visits end with the grandmother's familiar words, "I want to give you something to remember me by." Then she gives her granddaughter a small keepsake. Time passes, the grandmother grows older, and life brings its changes. It is the grown granddaughter who then gives to her grandmother, and who comes to understand the very human need to be remembered. In the end, it is clear that the most important gift each of us can give is our love - and the happy memories it creates.
