dear mom,
as you know today is December 22nd. The day that they call mother’s day. Maybe, at this very moment many mothers are receiving flower or cards from their daughter and son. Do you hope that too mom? The last present that I gave to you was a brooch. It was not expensive, moreover I just wrapped it up with matches-box. Budget problem if you understand mom :p
Sometimes, no. Many times, I feel that I’m really missing you mom. As I grow up, our togetherness is really rare. I just care about my own world. In many ways, I just feel a border between us. In fact, I’m not type of daughter who will give you birthday surprise, kiss your forehead every morning, or share my school stuffs. I’m not typical.
I found it difficult to hear my friends whose parents always order them something they don’t want to. She wanted to be an artist while her mom insisted her to become a doctor. A cliche, I know. When I was asking you about what major I should choose you would repeat these sentences. “Decide by yourself. It’s your own way, not mine. I’m happy as long as you’re happy.” But really, it’s kind of confusing for me until now. Because I want to be what you want me to be.
Well, actually you ever said this to me. “Just be better than me.” Those words had touched my heart. So this is my promise: Mom, I’ll be better than you.

Lots of hugs and kisses,
Your little girl
