Grandmother’s Legacy
by Elizabeth Guilt
"Should get a few for the table..."
"Think that might be Chippendale..."
The lump in Amy's throat swells. She hides, where she always did, in the dining room - though they'll be in here soon enough, bickering over the silver.
She opens the cabinet, and smiles through tears. Forks - a dozen large, a dozen small - nestle in rows. Amy strokes their blue velvet, enjoying their beautiful orderliness. The way she always did. She admires the polished knives, then slides the panel to reveal soup spoons - and an envelope.
"Darling Amy,
I know you will find this..."
She hugs the letter tightly.
