Dear Mum,
Today is my birthday and it is the first birthday I have spent far away from home. I miss you very much.
A few days ago, my teacher Miss Li told us that her primary school teacher made a huge difference in her life. She told us how her teacher encouraged her. But she didn’t have a chance to tell her. She was sad about it. This made me think a lot, especially when I am thousands of kilometers away from home. I am writing you the letter because I want you to know how much I love you.
A friend once said that a person’s happiness was mostly because of the love received in the childhood. I agree with her. I still remember the times when you held my hand and counted steps with me as we walked along. You told me stories about the brave elephant and encouraged me to be a confident girl. In cool autumn, we took many walks along the street, chatting and laughing together. My childhood was filled with these warm memories.
Time flies and so much has happened. There have been good times and bad times, ups and downs, but you were always by my side. When I won the swimming prize, you smiled and said you were proud of me. When I failed my math exam, you said everything would be fine. Now, when I have problems, I always think of your words and they help me a lot.
You have always said that we should judge people’s success by how they live their lives every day. I think I’m living a successful life and it’s all because of you. Thank you, Mum.
Love,
Feifei
