“To Tieu Nguyet, my dear daughter,
I have gone through hardships and tried many ways to bring you into this world, but in the end, your presence, I think, is your choice. I will be a good mother, accompanying you to grow up. But no matter what, you are an independent individual, you will have your own mission, my duty is to support you as much as possible.
Mom loves you so much that she is willing to use her life to protect you (but hopes that such a thing will not happen). No matter what kind of person you become when you grow up, mom will always love you.
I will remember the joy and satisfaction you make me feel now. I wish that in the future, you and I will have deep affection and also be good friends.
Watching you grow up, I can’t bear it. I’m worried that you will gradually leave my arms. When you understand me more, you will see that I’m not someone who likes to show off. I wrote this book to preserve memories for the two of us. When you grow up, you will have this book to remember your childhood.
I love you, baby.”
