I did not get to go back hometown to celebrate mother's day for this year as well. I missed 2 years already. Early in the morning (during Mother's Day, yeah, I have delayed my post), I wanted to call her and wish her "Happy Mother's Day", but due to insufficient of phone credit, I didn't. Then I thought of texting her only but that would be very insincere. Although I know she wouldn't mind and still be happy with it.
Instead of sending her 'Happy Mother's Day' in English, I typed it in Chinese character itself. She preferred Chinese as she was Chinese educated. For those who know me well, I am a 'banana' (a Chinese who does not know Chinese). In fact I can only converse in Chinese but I cannot read or write.
It did took me some time and effort to learn and write Happy Mother's Day in Chinese characters. It may not be anything special, but that's definitely not something I would do. In fact, I hate learning Chinese. Hehe. I just wanted her to know how important she is for me and I am willingly to do anything to make her happy.
Mom, you are the woman I care the most, thank you for loving me. Happy Mother's Day (母亲节快乐).
- Your son.
p/s: She won't be reading this post anyway & sorry, I can't find any better picture as we hardly take pictures together.
