Yet, there it was... a birthday card, and the only one I had ever received without Mom's familiar handwriting.

但是，就在那儿……一张生日卡，是我收到的生日卡里面唯一没有妈妈那熟悉笔迹的一张。

For her birthday, I didn't want to repeat my mistake so I gave her another gift card. I never received a thank-you note for either.

在她的生日会上，我不想重蹈覆辙，所以我送给她另一张卡片，我也从来没有收过一张感谢函。

But if that were the case, I would not have received my birthday card at all. My card wasn't even a bit soggy.

可如果真是这样的话，我最后根本不可能收到邮件，况且我的信也没有被水打湿的痕迹。
