Dear mei, what can I say? From the moment I was born Till this moment right now, It was you who had borne It was you who had embraced It was you who had raised It was you who had corrected And It was you who had directed. I can never understand how. Whenever math got hard for me, To you it subdued easily. Whenever I got hurt, You patched me up quickly. And whenever I crossed the line, You gave me nicely. All because you love me. I know sometimes I can be a pain I know sometimes I don't use my brain I may even make you go insane, But i know still, in spite of my imperfection You will still love me with no hesitation. Mei, with each year we both are growing old But my love for you remains solid as gold And will never fold no matter how cold life may get. Your presence in my life is a gift itself given by the Lord Himself, And I can never picture myself without you. Mei, I don't have much to give nor can I repay what you've already given to me, The gift of life and a mother's love. So these words, from the bottom of my heart I dedicate to you, For it's all I can do. But my love for you is not limited to these words, for as eternal as Heaven is My love, for you is. Happy birthday mei, may God bless you abundantly and may you continue to shine in my life as well as others.      With lots of love, gratitude and prayers Your son, Alban.
