Contrary to popular belief, I send out gifts early sometimes too! Take this mother's day for example, I actually got the gifts ready 1 month ago, then sent it 2 weeks prior to mother's day.
I didn't expect the little box to get to Taiwan fast. But after about 1 week (today), I got an email from my mom. It was titled: The Greatest Gift on Earth.
At first, I thought it was one of those e-mails that all moms like to forward and share (which are really nice most of the time). But I clicked on the e-mail, and this is what it reads:
親愛的德馨
收到你給我最棒的禮物
很有創意
我很開心
不會擺在資源回收
會開心的好好收藏起來
(你小的時候很愛撿東西放在抽屜 我都偷偷丟掉)
這次的母親節禮物太棒了
謝謝
Translation:
Dear Amy,
I recieved the best gift from you.
It's very creative,
I'm very happy.
I will not put it in the recycling bin,
I will keep it happily*
(When you were young, you loved to collect things**, I threw them away when you didn't notice.)
The mother's day gift this time is so good!
Thank you
I was so happy to hear that from her. I was actually a little worried that it wasn't good enough, because I didn't have much time to prepare a more lavish gift, or a more expensive, valuable gift for her.
*She means she will preserve it, and happily do so.
**She means the springs of the pens that ran out of ink, the tape dispenser that no longer has tape on it, plastic parts of things, metal parts of things, old CDs, etc. Basically, really useless things. I always thought I was going to do something cool with them, but I guess, after more than 10 years, they were still sitting in my drawer, in another country. |
