The Regal Cross Necklace

The Regal Cross Necklace

For the grandma who lives far away

Be with her every day.

A necklace. A small gold cross with a crown in the middle. She wears it every day. So you are with her every day. From you.

A mother and her grown daughter cheek to cheek, both wearing the Regal Cross

You fly in a few times a year. You call, and she wanders off halfway through. You learn her news from a post. And you say next time first, every time.

It is not the miles. It is that nothing of yours is in her ordinary day. She loves you. She just has nowhere to put it during the week.

You cannot be there for breakfast, or bedtime, or the first day of school. But you can give her one thing that is there for all of it.

Keep one. Give two.
Close on the cross, the crown seated at its center The symbolism

The cross means she is somebody’s.
The crown means whose.

You have tried to say that a hundred times and never found the words. So you put it around her neck and let it say it.

Eleven small stones along the arms catch light when she moves. The crown at the center is the mark. It is how she picks yours out of everything else she owns.

Fingertips holding the necklace out by its chain The last morning of the visit

She thought it was a hug.

At the front door, suitcase behind you, you kneel down. You had something in your hand you have been carrying for a year.

You are not trying to win. You are leaving one thing behind that will not fit in a drawer. Then you get in the car.

The cross resting at the collarbone Every day

She’ll wear it every day.

She reaches for it before anything else in the morning. She checks it in the mirror. She plays with it in the car. She puts it on before the Sunday call.

Nobody says your name. You are in every hour anyway.

The gold cross resting on a sunlit window sill “She’s too little. It will sit in a drawer.”

She wore it anyway. She slept in it.

She will not understand what it means. Not yet. She understood your hands shook a little putting it on.

It goes on in the morning and it stays on. Through the shower, the sleepover, the bath. She slept in it.

Say the word “grandma” and watch her hand.

It goes to the cross. Every time. Her mom stopped noticing. The grandma ten minutes away never saw it. The grandma far away sees it in every picture.
