Tạm dịch: Kỷ niệm này nhắc nhở tôi rằng không có gì đáng trở thành vấn đề phải bận tâm cả khi tôi có tình yêu của các con mình.
Ngày 10 tháng 12 năm 2006, tôi đã phải trải qua một khoảng thời gian rất khó khăn. Chủ nhà không muốn cho thuê nhà nữa, vì vậy tôi đã phải chuyển đi và chỉ có một tháng để tìm nơi ở. Bởi vì Giáng sinh đang đến gần nên thật khó để tôi tìm được một chỗ ở phù hợp. Tôi chỉ còn lại một ít tiền. Tôi không thể mua một cây thông Giáng sinh và quà cho ba đứa con trai của mình, vì tôi phải dùng tiền để tìm thuê một nơi sinh sống. Đối với tôi, thật đau lòng khi tôi không thể chuẩn bị Giáng sinh cho các con trai. Tôi là người mẹ duy nhất của chúng kể từ khi chồng tôi qua đời hai năm trước đây. Tôi đã rất buồn và tất cả mọi thứ đều khiến tôi khó chịu. Mặc dù tôi đã xoay sở để tự giải quyết vấn đề nhưng tôi không thể không kể cho các con trai về những điều này. Khi tôi đột nhiên tỉnh giấc lúc nửa đêm, tôi thấy con trai cả đang ngồi cạnh tôi. Thằng bé hôn tôi và nói: "Đừng lo lắng mẹ à. Chúng con yêu mẹ rất nhiều và luôn luôn bên mẹ dù cho bất cứ điều gì xảy ra." Lúc này tôi bắt đầu khóc, ôm lấy thằng bé và hôn nó. Lời nói và tình yêu của các con làm tôi quên đi tất cả những điều khiến mình lo lắng và mỏi mệt.
Thực ra kể từ thời điểm đó, tôi đã nhận ra rằng tôi có thể vượt qua bất kỳ chuyện gì nhờ tình yêu của các con trai mình. Điều quan trọng nhất trong cuộc sống của tôi là những đứa con của mình an toàn và khoẻ mạnh, và chúng mang lại cho tôi niềm vui mọi lúc. Kỷ niệm này nhắc nhở tôi rằng không có gì đáng trở thành vấn đề phải bận tâm cả khi tôi có tình yêu của các con mình.
