Our children grew up on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, although my husband and I sometimes sneak one late at night with a glass of milk. I believe that the success of this 31 lovedconcoction(混合物) lies not in the brand of peanut butter,  32  in the jelly. The right jelly  33  the palate, and homemade is the only choice.
My mother-in-law was the jelly maker in this family. This limited choice was a welcome   34  in the days of toddlers, siblings and puppies. All I did was to  35  baby food jars, which my mother-in-law would seal with wax(蜡) and  36  back home with us.  37  I wanted to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich , all I had to do was reach for one of little jars. Jelly making was just a way of 38   for my mother-in-law. She always did it, setting the 39  jelly on the shelves .
My father-in-law died several years ago and this past December, she also  40 . Among the things in the house to be divided by her children were the  41  canned goods.
The other day I reached my pantry(储物间) for jelly for a quick sandwich. Sitting all alone on the far side of the shelf was a small jar of grape jelly, whose lid was  42  in places.  43   on it were “GR” for grape and the year when the jelly was made.
As I picked up the jar, I suddenly realized something that I had  44  to see earlier. This was the last jar we would ever have from the  45 , loving hands . We hardly ever opened a jar of jelly at table without  46  about those thousands of little jars she had filled. It seems like such a small thing, and most days it was something that was  47   for granted.
No longer was it just a jar of jelly. It was the end of a family  48 . We have hundreds of pictures and many more memories that we expect to   49  the years and to pass on to our children. The jar of jelly won’t keep that long. It will either have to be eaten or  50  ...but not today.
