I got this email from my mom right after Mother’s Day. Some stuff had happened that weekend that got to me, and I guess my mom could sense it. I think, this is more sentimental than anything, but wanted to share (even if was from a while back ago).

I like letting you know, every time when you have any problem or difficulty, your are not alone, you could call us any time or just come home and talk with us, some time life is up and down, happiness and sadness, we are always behind you, supporting you, that is what family value stand for…

Also, yesterday in Angie’s wedding I almost could not recognized you, because your make up. In Korean drama, they always have a saying ” Woman’ heavy make up made them fake”. So, try to learn natural make up matter, because that will show our truly faces, and men like that for sure, especially Asian men (you can ask Dad for that). The last thing I like to mention is Health- I change my life style, try to sleep early during the night, when you work whole day in front of computer, save your eye, and give your eye and liver a rest time. That will help your skin too. Next weekend if you like to have a hot pot together at home let me know I will prepare for it. Dad and I, we like you have a happy, healthy, and a strong faith life, always PRAY and THANK to GOD. Love MOM

Sophia,

When I return to Fremont, count on me, I am your rock and your unfailing support all the time, because I am your cheerleader.

I know and I am prepared to support you during this very difficult time. But, that’s life. When you have a goal, when you have a high mountain to climb up, this is a necessary process. In the future, in life, you will encounter the same journey. I have been in your shoes many times in my life. You have seen me ups and downs. but our family is always a harbor for us to rest in the evening, to depart for our goal in the early morning.

Mom

Dear Sophia, Happy 20th Birthday!

The poem of this card describes exactly what we want to express to our dearest daughter on her 20th birthday! raising a girl to an adolescence, is a journey of ups-and-downs, sweet-and-sour but a rewarding experience. Dad and I are so proud to have you and you’re always our #1 priority! May you dare to dream, to persevere, and succeed and be happy always!

… P.S. 20th birthday for girls is very import to Chinese parents. My parents gave me the jade bracelet that I wore over 27 years- it has been my daily companion in happy times, in hardship when i was pioneer in USA, in failure and in success. so we chose this ….
