Dear mother,
Thank you for loving me. I can’t find any word that can describe your love.
Mother’s Day is coming soon. But I don’t know what I can do for you. I’m busy with the things that every American cares about. So I’ve decided to write you a letter. It seems I never write to you before. This is the only thing that I can think of.
Thank you for teaching me about right and wrong. Thank you for the happiest time that you have spent with me. Thank you for the first story that you’ve told to me. Thank you for understanding the people and speeches that come to you.
I will always love you, mama!
