When I was picking Michelle up from after school on last
Friday, she rushed and hurriedly presented
me with a beautiful decorated pink bag, a sweet tight hug and said "Happy
Mother's Day, mommy!" My heart got
melted momentarily.
The same evening, Sophie gave me a packet with her
handcrafted items for Mother's Day she had been working on in her class. She explained me in details how she put her heart to come up with her letter to me. After reading her letter to me, I felt tears
in my eyes. My heart was touched yet
felt so warm and loved.
Nothing else could make my heart warmer and more meltdown
than those sweet little gestures.
Only moms know what it takes to be a mom. A mom is the core of the family and she's one
of the essential ingredients for running a successful family.
The other day I saw a Chinese TV program. It was about a teenage girl who was pursuing
her violin career in a big city. It
showed how her mom sacrifices herself, takes care and is fully dedicated and
supports her daughter through a financial hardship and living poverty. It best depicts a mom's love. Being a mom myself, I know it's the same for
every mom.
Not all successful kids might not have moms but if they do
then there's a very supportive and loving mom behind them.
Sadly, I don't have my mom to celebrate Mother's Day with me
anymore. Even though she's not around,
she's always in my heart. As the saying goes, a mom cannot hold her children's
hands forever but she'll hold their hearts forever.
Happy Mother's Day to my mom and every single mom out there!
Sophie's letter
