my birthday

Today is my birthday. When I woke up, i called to my mom and dad to say thanks. Since a few years ago, I always have said to my parents thank you on my birthday. I couldn't realized parents love that much before because it was always given to me since I was born. However, I get older and older and live separately with them to study in new york city, i realized how much our family and parents is important to me.


In Korea, mother makes brown seaweed soup for their kids on kid's birthday morning. Because we have customs that a woman who just delivered a child eats brown seaweed soup and everybody should eat brown seaweed soup on their birthday since they are born. But now, my mother is in my country, so I made the soup by myself this morning and i missed her as eating the soup. and i wish i can have a vacation to Korea on my next birthday and eat my mom's soup....That will be the biggest present to me.
