Hi, Mom. It feels a little awkward to leave a message like this. It’s hard to believe it’s already been three years since I started living on my own. When I was with you, I didn’t realize just how much work goes into running a household. The moment I let my guard down, everything becomes messy, problems arise, and there’s nothing to eat. Lately, as I’ve been especially busy, I find myself thinking about you a lot—how you would wake up at dawn, go to work, clean, cook, and do the laundry. I feel so grateful yet also guilty, but when we talk on the phone, I always seem to focus on my own struggles instead of telling you how much I appreciate you. Even now, from far away, you still worry about what I wear and what I eat. So I wanted to take this moment to express my heart. Thank you for raising me with so much love. I pray that our family stays healthy and close-knit under God’s care. Always loving you!
