I’m writing this article in China, far away from my home in the United States. You might wonder what I do to remember my mom on Mother’s Day. Well, I certainly call her to say “Happy Mother's Day” and promise that I will visit home soon. I still remember the first time I forget Mother’s Day. When I finally figured it out, I asked, “Why does mom get a special holiday? Why isn’t there a Children’s Day for us? My mom explained, in that way that only moms seem to be able in explain, “Because every day is Children’s Day !” I knew that I had messed up. I thought about all the time and love my mom had given me. I thought about the food she had made, the toys she had brought and the long hours she had spent with me. There might not be a perfect mom, but there is mom’s love, which can fix anything. After that day, for 364 days, I was looking forward to the next Mother's Day.

That was the first year I forgot Mother's Day. It was also the last year I forgot. Are you struggling to consider what to do for your mom on Mother’s Day? Common things are to write a message that thanks for the love she has given you, send her a card or buy her a gift. But the most important thing is 一DON’T FORGET!

Dear Mom,

I’m sorry that I can’t go back home for Mother’s Day next week. On that day, I’ll have to go to an important meeting for my boss, who helps me a lot with my work and life here. But I’ll find time to see you at home soon.

Mom, thank you for everything you’ve done for Tim and me. After Dad died of a heart attack at home ten years ago in a road accident, you had to work in a supermarket in the daytime and in a restaurant at night. But you always gave us two your love and care. Though you don’t have to work now, I still remember your coming home and feeling tired many evenings.

Tim is going to finish his studies next month. He said he would move back from school and look for a job near home. I’m glad you won’t live by yourself any more. Let’s plan to take a trip in the near future. It’s been years since the three of us took a trip together.

Happy Mother’s Day. I love you, Mom.

Best wishes,

David
