Dear mummy,
You were always a giver, never one to take. You were forced to support your family and eight siblings at a tender age of 16, give up your chance for education for the sake of all the other younger ones. I heard you were a bright one. Hardly even a young lady, you married and started a family. For 30 years you have been taking care of us and keeping this family, somewhat together. You gave us your food when you were hungry and clothed us when you were cold. So mummy, this is your time to shine. After more than half a century old……here you are lighting yet another candle in your life. The nights of mugging, shuffling between family and studies and competing with all the other young and green ones has finally paid off. I await the day when I will be able to see you nursing people in need and practicing what you have learn for the good of those who are neglected by us rest. Congratulations mummy, walk up the stage the tallest, throw up your tassel the highest, because you deserve such honor. I have never been more proud to be your daughter.
