Happy Birthday!!

Dear Chelle-chelle,

Happy 32!!

I used to write to you on your birthdays. Not sure why I stopped doing it for the past few years... But I want to send you the attached card today along with the translations in blue below. I bought this card for your 3 years old birthday in 1993. You were in China back then. So, I mailed the card to you, and I am sure Grandma read it to you on your birthday. 

I initially planned to send this card to you next year, 30 years after 1993. But I don't want to wait for another year -- sending it now. Hope you find it special.

Again, Chelle-chelle, I am very proud of you, and I cherish the roads we've traveled together. It's been an incredible journey. Back in 1993, I couldn't even imagine how you'd turn out 30 years later. But I knew one thing very clearly -- I loved you very much, always have and always will!! 

Happy Birthday!!

Dear Chelle-chelle,

How are you? Mama has not written a letter to you for a while, are you okay?

Today is your 3 years old birthday. I bought this special card for you, wishing you a Happy Birthday! I hope you have fun today, and get to eat some delicious foods.

Time flies; you are 3 years old now. I still remember watching the video of your 2^nd birthday. Back then, you just learned how to talk. Do you remember? If not, you can ask Grandpa to play the video for you again. That way, you’d remember how you were like last year.

Chelle, do you know why a little girl celebrates her birthday? It’s because her Grandma, Grandpa, Mommy and Daddy love her very much. They all want her to be happy on this special day. In the meantime, they also hope she realizes that she has grown again for one full year. From this day onward, she will need to learn new things, understand new concepts, listen to Grandma and Grandpa, and be a good little girl. Do you agree?

Okay, that’s all I’ll write today. I wish you happiness and health on this day and for this year!

Love,

Mommy

Dear Chelle-chelle,

The little girl on the card just turned three. Her Mommy bought an ice cream for her. She dropped the ice cream on the floor, but still wondering where her ice cream was… Do you know the name of this cute little girl? Her name is Michelle.

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
