On January 1st every year, we will celebrate my mom's birthday at various locations. My mom has went through a lot, even more so last year, although we do celebrate mom's birthday at home beautifully, it was later that night, that my late stepdad was rushed to the ER

I wish to be wise like my mom, not wishing I want to be strong as her, because that would mean more challenges in life..

I learn my a lot from my mom. That's why they said a child inherit his/her mom's IQ, because that's where the lesson (formal and informal) come from!
