Every year on my birthday, from the time I was 12, a white gardenia（栀子花）was sent to my house. No card ever came with it. I made calls to the flower-shop, but the owner didn’t know who the sender was, either. After a while I stopped

trying to find out the sender’s name and was just pleased with the beautiful white flower, in soft pink paper.

I never stopped imagining who the giver might be, though. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these daydreams. She’d asked me if I had been especially kind to someone. Perhaps it was one of my classmates. Perhaps it was the old man. He lived across the street. I’d sent his mail during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy that I had met.

One month before my high school graduation, my father died. I was so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn’t care whether I had a new dress or not. My mother, in her own sadness, however, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved. In fact, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia: lovely, strong and perfect, with perhaps a bit of mystery.

I got married at the age of 22. My mother died ten years

after I was married. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.
