Question

Dear Mom,

You have no idea how you really mean to me. You always love me unconditionally. You help me with my homework or project. You always cook me delicious food every day. I will never forget that every time I got stressed out because of the tests, you always said “Take it easy.” Thank you for believing in myself when I didn’t feel to believe in myself. I don’t think words can describe how thankful I am to have such a mom like you.

I still remember the day that I was drowned in the sea, and then you took your courage in both hands and tried to save me. You did it although you only learned swimming for a week and you were afraid as well.

Happy Mother’s day! I love you and will always love you.

Love you to the bits,

Ivan
