It was so 2 there in the spring and summer. That wasn't all, though. In the back yard, my grandma had lots of potted(盆栽的) plants. She 3, talked to and fertilized(施肥) them every day. And in winter, she would 4 them all inside and set them on shelves near the windows. There with a little water and a lot of love, she kept them 5, green, and growing even during the coldest, darkest months.
As a boy I understood and loved the vegetable gardens. They helped to 6 the family all winter long. I even loved the flowers around the house. They were pretty and 7 so sweet in the summer months. However, the reason why my grandma put so much effort into 8 those potted plants puzzled me. They didn't give us any food and they 9 had any flowers on them. They remained a mystery in my 10.
Now as I've grown older I am beginning to ______ 11 why my grandma had those potted plants. It is the same reason why I have so many pictures of sunrises and forests ______ 12 in my home. They help me remember that light, love and ______ 13 are still there during the dark and cold winter months. They remind me that spring will come again.
Today I see grandma's potted plants in a new light. They are 14 every bit of my love and care. But my greatest reminder of light and love is Grandma 15. She is light to me, even in my darkest times. And her love lives in my heart forever.
