     I've 1ived my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing
letters.Standing by the chair, looking at the ink, bottle, pen and white paper, I decided that the act of writing
must be the wonderful thing in the world.
     Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother, "But the desk,"
she said again, "is for Elizabeth." I never saw her anger, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me: she showed
it in action. But I still remember when I was a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and
daughter.They never happened. I was "too emotional", but Mother only lived "on the surface". And a gulf
appeared between us. I couldn't understand her.
     As years passed, I had my own family. I got to know her love, and 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
answer. None came. I became disappointed. I Couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. It
seemed nothing had happened.
     Now the present of her desk told me why she had never been able to answer me.I cleaned the desk
carefully and found some papers inside-a photo 0f my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many
times. It was just my letter!
    Mother, you always chose the act that speaks other than words.
