Helen Tsui Tsz-ching, 13 There is so much I want to say to you. When I was a child, I was so wilful but you never scolded me. You gave me everything I wanted. As I grow up, I often argue with you. Although sometimes you scold me, you always comfort me when I cry. You always do things for me and the family without expecting anything in return. I promise I'll do my best to reach my goals and not make you worry. In future, I'll take care of you. I love you more than anything! Janet Tam Ka-wing, 17 Thanks for your unlimited support throughout the years and your delicious, home-made, heartwarming soup during my DSE revision days. Thanks for never complaining about my untidiness and laziness. And I'm really thankful for your doing housework for us 365 days a year! Gina (14) and Euvin Kahng (17) Both of us will go to study in the US, leaving you and Dad behind. We know that you've put in so much trust in us and we're going to do our best for you both. Our gratitude for your care is indescribable. We want to tell you how much we love you: our love for you is higher than the highest sky where birds can fly and as deep as the sea. Joseph Ho, 16 My dearest Mum: recently we've been arguing about my future, my dreams - and your expectations. Despite the chasm, you're always supportive of every decision I make. You let me pursue my dreams and I am more than grateful for that. Because of you, I have been changed for good. I love you. Muah! Candace Kwan, 18 I always feel that I've won the 'parent lottery'. It sounds like a cliche but I'm so lucky to have you in my life. When I go to college in the Unites States this fall, I will miss you (and your nagging) a lot. I promise to call you regularly. Please don't worry about me. Words can't express my thanks for your care, guidance and encouragement. I will strive every day to make you proud. I love you! Persephone Yau Ka-yan, 13 Sorry Mom! I didn't do my best when I was little. I didn't treasure what you did and gave me. I didn't listen to you carefully and I now regret that. I promise you I will not become a bad girl. I will live happily and try my best to be a successful person one day. This is my gift for you on Mother's Day. Anahita Sharma, 18 I just want to let you know how much I appreciate everything you've done for us over the last 18 years, for always being positive and supportive about every change and looking out for me the entire way, even when I've been stubborn and stupid. You're always there even when I've failed. You're truly amazing - you have this ability to connect with people, and do great things - and I hope I can match that when I'm grown up. Thank you so much for everything. I'll never be able to repay what you've given me, but maybe the tuition fees - in 20 years. Emily Leung Man-yin, 12 I know taking care of me is a challenge since I have thalassemia and I was always a bit naughty. But you still make a huge effort to bring me up, and you bear all my naivete and faults. And now I've grown up, so let me take care of you. Kenny Wong Kai-tim, 12 It was tiring for you to take care of me when I was born premature, and the doctor told you I might die. But you didn't give up on me. I want to thank you so much for not giving up on me and for taking care of me.
