Our children grew up on jam (果酱)sandwiches. I was not the jam maker in this family. My mother-in-law (婆婆) was. She only made two kinds of jam. They were grape jam and blackberry jam.
Over the past 22 years, whenever I wanted to make a jam sandwich for my husband or children, all I had to do was reaching for one of my mother in-law's jars of jam.

Jam making was a way of life for my mother-in-law. She always did it, from picking the fruit to setting the finished jam on the shelf. My father in-law died several years ago. Last December, my mother-in-law also passed away. Her children divided her jars of jam. When my husband brought his jars home, we carefully put them away on the shelf.
The other day I went into the kitchen and found a small jar of grape jam. As I picked up the jar, I suddenly realized something. This was the last jar of homemade jam. We could buy jam from stores, but this was the last jar we would have from the hands of my mother-in-law. Although she had been gone for nearly a year, so much of her had remained with us. Our children had never known a day without their grandmother's jam.
I put the jar back on the shelf. It was no longer just a jar of jam. I believed that as long as it was there, a part of my mother-in-law would always live on.
