My dear children, I love you so much! This is not a letter to be posted. I have written this in the hope that one day you will find it. Yes, I wanted to let you know something that I thought was not suitable to express face to face.

Life is too short and uncertain. What I say is not new at all, but why I say it is important. If you are reading this, I am no longer with you. You are alone now. I'm not there to help you or give you any kind of advice. But I have faith(信心) that the steps you take will be sound and wise.

The world around you can be confusing. But if you look inside yourself, you can light your path and figure out where to go. Remember the saying “you reap what you sow(播种)”. The way you act will have an impact on your life. Be careful and aware of every step. Be positive as much as possible. All of you are great children. I hope you can understand what I mean. Be kind to others and to yourself.

Yours affectionately(挚爱地) Mom
