To this day, I remember my mum's letters. It all started in December, 1941. Every night she wrote to my brother Johnny,who had joined the army that summer. We had not heard from him since the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.

I didn't understand why my mum kept writing to Johnny when he never wrote back.

＂Wait and see--we'll get a letter from him one day,” she claimed.

Mum said that there was a direct link from the brain to the written word that was just as strong as the light God has given us. She trusted that this light would find Johnny.

I don't know if she said that to calm herself, dad or all of us down. But I do know that it helped us stick together, and one day a letter really did arrive. Johnny was alive on an island in the Pacific.

I had always been amused by the fact that mum signed her letters,Cecilia Capuzzi, and I made fun of her about that. “Why don't you just write “Mom'?”I said.

Around next spring mum had got two more sons to write to. Every evening she wrote three letters which she gave me and dad afterwards so we could add our greetings.

By and by, the rumor about mum's letters spread.

One day, a small woman knocked at our door. Her voice trembled as she asked: "Is it true you write letters?”

＂I write to my sons."

“And you can read too?” whispered the woman.

“Sure.”

The woman opened her bag and pulled out a pile of airmail letters. Read...please read them aloud

to me.

The letters were from the woman's son, a soldier in Europe.

Mum had no difficulty reading the letters one by one and translated them from English to Italian. The woman's eyes welled up with tears.

“＂Now I have to write to him,"she said.But how was she going to do it?

＂Make some coffee,Octavia,"mum yelled to me.She seated the woman and started to write. When she had finished, she read the letter aloud to the woman.

＂How did you know that was exactly what I wanted to say?”

＂I often say and look at my boys' letters, just like you, without a clue about what to write.”

A few days later, more and more people in our town asked mum to write letters for them. Sometimes she would write letters all day long. Even after the war, many people turned to mum. On one occasion, mum admitted that she had always had a secret dream of writing a novel.

“Why didn't you?” I asked.

“All people in this world are here with one particular purpose,” she said. “Obviously, mine is to write letters.A letter unites people like nothing else. It can make them cry and laugh.”

Today,all mum's letters are lost. But those who got them still talk about her and cherish the memory of her letters in their hearts.
