Dear Lior,
Happiest 11th Birthday!
Our 11 years together have been the best years of my life.
You have completely pivoted everything in the best possible way. You make me want to be better. Just having your presence around is really healing. You really are the light.
For your 11th birthday, these are my wishes for you.
- May you never forget how loved you are—especially on days that feel a little heavy. I hope you always remember that I am here for you and that our love will stand the toughest of times.
- May you always remember that it'll pass. Bad days and good days alike. Which is why you should always cherish each little moment. And that you shouldn't dwell too much on bad times. Because it's going to pass. I will be here every step of the way.
- May you always see the kindness of the world. You're one of the most empathic people I know. You care deeply for everything and everyone. Sometimes to a fault. But we'll work on it. I hope you always find the good in people and you'll always try to look at where they are from their perspective.
You have been growing into an amazing human being. You're funny and you're sweet and you're absolutely kind. I am so proud to have you as my son. But I think more than that, I am extremely lucky to be your mom in this lifetime. I promise to look for you in the next.
I love you so much, my Cheng.
Always, Mama
