Dear Mum,
Today is my birthday and it is my first birthday away from home. I miss you so much.
A few days ago, my Chinese teacher, Miss Li, told us that her primary school teacher had made a huge difference in her life. She told us how her teacher encouraged her. But she hadn't had a chance to thank her. She was sad about it. This made me think a lot, especially when I am thousands of kilometers away from home. I am writing you to tell you how much I love you.
A friend of mine once said that a person's happiness is mostly rooted in the love he or she received in childhood. I can't agree more with her. I still remember when you held my hand and counted steps with me as we climbed the stairs, when you told me stories about brave elephant and encouraged me to be confident and when we often walked along the street, chatting and laughing together in autumn. My childhood is filled with these happy and warm memories, and I can still feel the warmth (温度).
Time flies. So far there have been good and bad times, ups and downs in my life. But I know you would always be on my side. When I won the swimming prize two year ago, you smiled and said you were proud of me. When I failed my math exam, you told me everything would be fine. Now, whenever I have problems, I always think of your words.
You told me that we should judge people's success not by how much money they have, but by how they live their everyday lives. I think I'm living a successful life, and it's all because of you. Thank you, Mum.
Love,
Feifei
