Title : Precious

Everyone has something precious of their own no matter if it is a person or something

they own. My family is the most precious in my life especially my mother.

A mother is more precious and valuable than all the things in the world. She is the one
who brought me into this world and has taken care of me since I was born. She is also the one
who takes care of me every time I get sick. She is the most important person in my life.

My mother has given me so much love from her heart. No one can replace her. I am
so thankful and grateful for having such a kind and loving mother. No words can describe the
joy and gratitude that I have in my heart to have her in my life.

I still remember when me and my father made a surprise birthday celebration for my
mother. At that time, it was 7pm and my mother had just returned from work. She was
shocked when she saw me holding a cake. We said "happy birthday" together and my mother
looked very surprised then she smiled at us and said “thank you”. I put the cake on the table
and asked my mother to make a wish and cut the cake. I gave my mother a watch as a
birthday present while my father gave my mother a necklace that looks fancy. After that, we
had dinner together. The food was appetizing and amazing!

I was proud to see my mother smiling happily and that is a memory I will never
forget.
