7、Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a bunch of white flowers was   1   to my house in Bethesda, Maryland.   2   card or note came with it. Calls to the flower store were always   3   - it was a cash purchase. After a while I   4   trying to discover the sender’s identity and just delighted in the beauty and perfume of that magical, perfect white flowers packed    5   soft pink paper.

But I   6  stopped imagining who the mysterious giver might be. Some of my   7   moments were spent in day dreams about someone wonderful and exciting but too   8   to make known his or her identity.

My mother contributed to these imaginings. She’d ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special   9  who might be showing appreciation. Perhaps the neighbor I’d helped when she was   10   a car full of groceries. Or maybe, it was the old man across the street whose mail I’d helped to fetch during the winter so he   11   have to risk going down his   12   steps. As a teenager, though, I had more   13   guessing that it might be a boy I was in love with or someone who had noticed me even though I didn’t   14   his name.

When I was 17, a boy broke my   15  . The night he called for me the last time, I cried myself to   16  . When I awoke the next morning, there was a   17   written on my mirror in red lipstick: “Heartily know when half – gods go, the gods arrive.” I thought about that saying from Emerson for a long time, and I left it   18   my mother had written it until my heart   19  . When I finally went for the glass cleaner, my mother knew   20   was all right again.
