Looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that theact 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 said again,“is for Elizabeth. ” I never saw her get angry, and never saw her cry.

I was “too emotional (易动感情的)”, but she lived“on the surface（表面）”. As years went by 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 that she did forgive (原谅) me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. It didn’t come. It seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to her. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
