You may also have the best choice when it comes to selecting new clothes for me.
You may be wonderfully talented, by being such an amazing artist and such a graceful dancer.
But none of these beautiful qualities define who you are the best.
Because the best thing about you, dear Mom, is your emotions.
I know that you sometimes cry when you think of me. I know how emotionally expressive you are, and I hope you know what a beautiful quality that is. I am hardly as expressive in front of you as you are, but still, deep inside, I do know how much you love me, and how much you love all three of us.
I am reminded of your love every time you give us sweets after having a meal and you save the smallest piece for yourself.
I am reminded of your love every time I watch you sweat in the kitchen even when it is so hot outside, just so that we get something new and something tasty to eat every single day.
I am reminded of your love every time you ask me what I am thinking when I eat at the dining table, and even though I'm not thinking anything at all, it makes me realise how much you care about what I do.
Honestly, every single day, you do so much that reminds me of your love that it is not possible to give all of it back to you.
So all I will say is that today is the day of celebrating your emotions. Because they are what make you the most beautiful person I know.
Today is the day of celebrating the wonder that my Mummy is.
And I shall always be proud to be your son.
Happiest Birthday, Mummy
