When my mother and daughter are together it is easy to see the special connection that they have. The grandmother-granddaughter relationship is short on criticism or commentary and long on love because it is warmed with generations of human interaction and then sprinkled with the type of pure joy that brings light and love, wisdom and bliss to the human spirit. The more that I watch these two interact, the more I swear that my mom is sometimes just an "antique" little girl. Having grown up surrounded by an extended family, perhaps I have taken it for granted. But I can now see that every family member helps each other connect the dots from generation to generation. For the history of all generations in a family is embedded in the laughter, tears and dreams of their children and their children's children. It is in them that history takes root and becomes the future.
