Happy Birthday, Grandma!

To my dearest Nai Nai,


Simply saying "thank you" for all the love and care you have bestowed on us over the years is insufficient in expressing the gratitude and regard I have for you.


You have taken care of me all my life...even today, as I was putting the finishing touches on the mango cream cake I made for you, you were gathering all the used bowls and utensils and washing them up for me. Despite my insistence that "I'll do it later!" (which I do...sometimes.)


I made this cake for you as an expression of my love. Please accept this humble gift of mine. It is most certainly not picture-perfect, and I could only make use of the materials I had on hand (hence, the somewhat uneven covering of mango), but I know you will only see the good things about this cake and overlook the obvious faults, just like how you always manage to see the good in me. Even when I am behaving atrociously. Even when no one else wants to be around me. Even during those times I don't want to be around myself. Your love for me is unconditional, and I thank you for it.



Happy birthday, Grandma!
