I used to watch her from my kitchen window. She seemed so small as she pushed her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during break.
I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone．
One day I asked her why she practiced so much. Without a moment of hesitation（犹豫）she said, “I want to go to college. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship（奖学金）. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count．”
I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led her school team to victory.
One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head in her arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. “Oh, nothing,” came a soft reply, “I am just too short.” The coach told her that at "5’5’’ she would probably never get to play for a top ranked, team-much less offered a scholarship — so she should stop dreaming about college.
She was heartbroken and I sensed（感觉到）her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she truly wanted a scholarship, and that nothing could stop her except one thing — her own attitude．He told her again , “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.”
The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was offered a scholarship She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of．

One day, my three-year-old granddaughter Emily fell from her bike when I was cooking in the kitchen. I ran to help her get up. When she saw the blood (血) on her knees, she started to cry. I took her in my arms, saying words of comfort (安慰) as I carried her into the house.
With much comfort, she let me wash and put ointment (药膏) on her knees. I kissed her and asked, “All better now, sweetie?”
“No, Grandma. You must say the Mommy words,” she said. I didn’t know what she meant. Then she added, “You know, Grandma. Mommy says them to make me feel better.” Emily took a deep breath (呼吸) and started to recite (吟诵), “A little kiss, a little hug, I give you these, with all my love ...”
My mind raced and I remembered. They were the same words that I had recited to my children, my mother to me, and her mother to her. My grandmother had died when my mother was eight. There had been nothing left but her dear memories. When she became a mother herself, she passed on the love of her mother and the Mommy words. Hearing them now, I understood that although I had never met my grandmother, I did know her. We were mothers — we were close at heart.
“Grandma, I am all better,” Emily said after she finished reciting. We kissed and hugged, and recited the Mommy words together.
