Dear My Lovely Mom


How is it going with your health? I believe everything is going well. I would like to go on a family picnic judging from the look at the sky. I write this letter in honor of Mother's Day. Looking back, I have not written a letter to you since I was in military. I am so sorry that I did not express my feelings frequently even though I have lived with a thankful heart.

Suddenly I am reminded of a letter which I received in military from you. A passage was that "I sometimes go to your empty room and stay there for a couple of hours. After doing, I can be touched to the heart as if we are together." The moment I read, I was completely moved to tears. It was a never to be forgotten day.

I am not sure that I have grown up to be a man as well as you expected. But it is an obvious fact that you have taught me as well and inspired me, and supported me in education. You will never know how much it has meant to me.

I think I have not done my best to act up to your expectation. I am quite another man now. I would love to tell you that everything will work out and I promise to do all I can to make sure it does. You do not need to worry about that.

I remember you praying for me many times a day, especially when I took the college aptitude test. You will never know how much I was affected by your sincerity. Moreover, you have been on my side, and you are endeavored to bring conviction to me. Otherwise, who makes me feel like I am more than I ever thought I could be. If you were not my mother, I would not existed the present myself.

My dear mother, please wait for a little longer. After finishing successful lingustics study, I am going to go back home with great knowledge of English. The remainder of your life will be easy and comfortable. I bet! So you must keep your health till then. I swear I will pray for everything related with you. I do love you more than you do.

sincerely yours

son
