My grandmother's eightieth birthday was approaching and I was at a loss as to what to give her. She had recently moved into a nursing home and didn’t have room for _36 _ things. She insisted that she didn’t need a thing.
_37 , I came up with an idea. In her _38 _ card, I sent her a gift certificate (礼券) for “A letter a _39 _ for the next year!” It was a big_ 40_ . I knew that she’d love to _41 _ what was going on in my life.
The letter gift certificate was a big 42___. She got fifty-two letters that first year. Some were 43 and filled with homesickness. Others were short and newsy. More than once what she _44 was just a funny card with a few
short _45 . All showed her that I was thinking of her regularly.
_46 her next birthday came around, she asked for another letter gift certificate. 47 , that’s also what she wanted next eight birthdays.
For nine years I wrote her. She was rarely able to _48 back. I flew home annually to _49 _ and soon realized that the entire nursing home staff knew all the details of my 50 _, as more and more often they were _51 _ the letters to her.
My 52 letter arrived the day after her death. I felt I had given her the best gift I could. What I hadn’t counted on (指望) was how her gift would come full circle to me.
Months later, while _53 _ her things, my dad found a box full of letters
from me. Those letters were filled with moments and pictures I had completely forgotten. She 54_ those memories for me in my letters. Sometimes our gifts to others come back to us in _55 ways.
