Dear dad and mum,
That was the first time I had to spend my birthday in a strange place-where even when I smile or cry,no one cares me,no one takes a look at me,gives me a tissue or a warm hug...In fact, althuogh I have never experienced a full birthday, being in your arms is enough for me...As time goes by, I am older,cannot be a child to be always next to you.And time has teached me the smell of failure, of hopeless feeling,of being lonely...At these terrible time, you are always besides me, drowing away your sadness and weakness to hold me,to be my solid support.You have paid the color of your hair to be strong enuogh to protect your small girl from the storms of life. And time also takes me far away from you to come here for my future.I know that everytime you take me to airport, you cry silently after my back is turned.I know that you were so worried for your small girl whether I could enjoy my birthday or not.I do not know why..It was so lucky that I did not cry when I called you to tell you about my birthday,how happy I was and how interesting it was.My friends tried their best to make me feel warm and happy.I thank all of you.I thank you so much...However,I know that you still worry for your small daughter.My mum and dad, althuogh I am not old enuogh to not cry whenever I leave Vietnam, I am mature enuogh to know that life is the journey and the last trip is to home where you are still waiting for me and spraying for me forever...My dad and mum,I love you...

This is a poignant message. I thought of my own daughter when I read this.
Thank you, Yen, for sharing these inner thoughts! And thank you for your hard work and good attitude all term!
Best of luck in your future!
Nice to know you, yen.
Your smile is beautiful.
Sometimes, love needn't be told. I,myself, am always shy of saying my love to someone, especially my mom and dad. However you teach me that I should let them know I love them so much ^^
Yeah,I spent two birthday here without cakes-___-
