i love you mother

After our English class covered the topic of Mickey Mantle’s life I learned that I should express I love feelings to my family. We discussed that Mickey regrets the fact that he did not say how much he loved his father while his father was alive. So I learned if I do not say it then my family would never know and I will make a mistake like Mickey made. I decided to open my heart. Since my parent moved to San Francisco we often communicated by emails. When we were living together I did not noticed how important they were. But now I know their each positions were so valuable and greatly supports my life. To express my thoughts and feelings, this Tuesday I wrote an email to my mother. I could just call her and say that I love her but to be honest, I did not have a confidence to express my love while I was listening her voice. On email, first I explained to her who was Mickey Mantle and his relationship with his father. Then I told her what made me to say that I love her. After I send this email I felt lighter than before, as physically and mentally. Next day she wrote me back. The first sentence on her email grabbed my attention.
She said “Thank you my daughter.” When I read that sentence she touched my heart so softly. In last few months, I was very depressed and felt lonely for some reasons. Also I often cried in the dark because I missed my parent so much. But when I read her email, all those pains and tears were gone. All I did was saying “I love you and I love you so much.” My mother gave me a double of love that I offered to her. If I did not expressed my love then I would never receive this kind and love feelings from her. I wish someday that, when we are face to face, I tell her that I love her very much and thank her to give me a birth.
