it again for only the second time, years after she had just made it. The bookmark Katy’s mother had used time and again. Her cherished, worn, bleached out—taped up where Katy had ripped it a month ago—bookmark was the origami rose Katy had made only a couple of days ago. She recognized it.

Slipping it out of its place, Katy turned it over to see the faded writing on the stem.

Best Friends Always! I will never forget you. Kathleen and Nissa BFF.

Katy swallowed. Then she looked up at her mother. “How did you get this?”

Tears welled up in her mother’s eyes. The smile of an old, lost friend spread across her face. “Don’t you remember, Katy? You gave it to me.”

Blinking at her mother’s face, she saw those eyes she had found kindness and understanding in for the past three weeks. Looking at the rose, the words of her grandfather came back to her. Katy suddenly let go of everything that held her back and threw her arms around her mother. “I thought I lost you forever!”

“Never,” her mother cried, sobbing with happy tears. “We’re best friends forever. BFF.”

Katy laughed. “Yeah. BFF.”

So her mother did understand after all.
