  I loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.

  Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “ But the desk,” she had said again, “is for Elizabeth.”

  I never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to heart talks between mother and daughter.

  They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was too emotional. But she lived on the surface(表面).

  As years passed and I had my own family, I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.

  I posted the letter and waited for her answers. None came.

  My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I could not be sure that the letter had even got to my mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone that she was not.

  Now the present of her desk told me, as she had never been able to , that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.

  Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
