Mom's birthday

Hi diary,

Today was my mom's birthday. Although I sent her a long cheesy message to show my big love towards her, I still want to write something here on this day to remember.

We are separated at the moment because I chose to live here and develop myself in an entire strange city without any relatives or family members. However, thanks to this fact, I have learnt how to stand on my own feet, how to overcome obstacles in my life and especially, how to be a stronger and more mature person to become the better version of me.

My mom went to a pagoda tonight. As usual, she always thought of me and prayed for my health, success and happiness in Saigon. She even forgot her birthday already. I must admit that she must be the one who unconditionally loves me and sacrifices all of her life without thinking a little bit for her sake. As long as I am in a good condition, that makes her smile and happy.

Today years ago, she was born on this Earth and destined to have me as her daughter. I'm blessed to be born in the family, to be her child and to be loved unconditionally. Even if my mom is absolutely not perfect as other moms would be, but her love for me is perfect and I'm proud to have such a mother like her.

I wish her all the best wishes in the world.

Happy birthday, Mom! Thank you for 9 months suffering to give birth to me and for nearly 26 years to love and care for me always. I love you.

Hal
