  Every year on my birthday, a white gardenia(栀子花)was   1   to my house.But no card or note came with it.Calls to the flower shop were always   2  -it was a cash purchase.After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender's identity and just   3   in the beauty and heady perfume of that one magical, perfect white flower lying in soft pink paper.

  But I never stopped   4   who the giver might be.My mother   5   to these imaginations.She asked me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness who might be showing   6  .I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I fell in love with or one who had   7   me even though I didn't know him.

  One month before my high-school graduation, my father died.My feelings   8   from sorrow to fear and   9  :my dad was missing some of the most important events in my life.I became completely   10   in my coming graduation, the senior-class play and the ball.But my mother would not hear of my losing any of those things.Mother and I had gone shopping and found an impressive dress, but it was the   11   size.When my father died, I forgot about the dress.

  The day before my ball, I found that dress-in the right size-hanging over the living room sofa.It was   12   to me so lovingly.I didn't   13   if I had a new dress or not.But my mother did.She wanted her children to feel   14  , filled with a sense that there was a beauty even in the face of   15  

  My mother died ten days after I was married.The following year the gardenia stopped coming.
