That was the day when I stubbornly clung to my mother's body since I was still alive... When the doctor said the words that made my mother's heart feel like someone was strangling her: "25% of the embryo has been removed, it is unlikely that it can be kept." my child!”…I prayed, I whispered to my child that we had to overcome it, you had to hold on tightly to my heart, and never let me go! And you have accomplished a miracle, I have been proud of you since you were a small dot in my heart...!
That was yesterday, I walked on my own two feet without mom, that was the courage to stand up when I fell... It was the first day I left my mother's arms to go to school... I was so brave. feeling when overcoming the fear of not having my mother by my side, so that today... I am like a little bird separating from my mother to fly into the vast sky ahead...!
That was yesterday, I knew how to whisper and ask my mother why she was sad? Why do you cry in such a cute, lisping voice... One day when you came home from school, in your bag there was a pretty little candy that you gave to your parents...
Mom is proud of you from the smallest things, the day you knew how to hold the change I gave you and politely put it in the hands of the old beggar at the market gate, knowing how to collect the coins I gave you to raise in a piggy bank to buy milk. donated to the orphans...
Yesterday, you admitted your mistake when you broke the cup I just bought... With your pretty little arms folded across your chest, you voluntarily stood in the "discipline corner", mom is proud of you for being honest...
To someone, what my mother told me might be very simple, but to me, it was the moment my mother's smile became brighter, her heart happier, filled with sunshine, filled with wind... I am proud that my child grew up healthy. strong, peaceful, and most of all you have an honest heart...!
