May is a beautiful month full of sunshine and flowers. It is also the month when we show thanks to our mothers on Mother's Day.
In my family, every year's Mother's Day celebration is different. Two years ago, I made breakfast in bed for my mom and she still remembers all the dishes I cooked. Last year, I bought her a selfie stick (自拍杆) with the money that I made from selling some of my old books. She uses it all the time.
I wanted to do something special on this "special" Mother's Day this year. In April, I started to search for different gift ideas on the Internet. Finally, I decided to make a paper box by hand with cards. It took me a long time to make the cover fit properly. I also put a small bag of colorful chocolates in the box. The messages I wrote on the cards were some small favors (恩惠) I could do for my mom, such as washing dishes.
On the night before Mother's Day, I asked my mom to go to sleep early so that I could go into her room and put the present next to her bed. When she woke up, she was very excited about my gift and spent a lot of time looking at every tiny detail (细节) of the box.
My mom is my hero and she has gave up her job to take care of me. I am glad that there is a special day in May for me to honor my mom and show her my thankfulness and love.
