What a wonderful day today has been for me and Lin.
Has it really been twenty one years since I gave birth to her? It was a difficult pregnancy due to the fears I had after contracting chicken pox during the nineteenth week. Despite my cousin-in-law doctor's advice to look at the 99% chances that the baby would be healthy, being the pessimist I was, I was in constant turmoil. My mother said that seeing her jump when a nurse accidentally dropped something was the sweetest sight. Everyone had expected her to have a "defect", and my mother had feared a hearing disability. She had a wonderful complexion, and was very alert and bright. What a blessing and relief it had been for all of us.
Being thrust into the role as a mother was not easy for me to accept. I think I blundered more than most other moms. However, come to think of it, I have not improved that much by the time it came to being a mother the fifth time.

Bright, energetic, vibrant and cheerful, yet Lin can also be so naive and moody. What a turbulent road it has been for both her parents and her. However, I choose to stop worrying and to look forward to a happy future for her. Happy 21st birthday, Lin!
