On that day, my cousin bought a special present for his mother, a nice shawl
Moreover, he had a special dinner with his mother’s favourite foods and with a cake, of course
Before the meal, his father, he with all members of the family- his wife and two children- gather around the dinner table We all sing : “Happy Birthday” to her When the song finished, he and his wife gave the present to his mother and kissed her Then his mother cut the cake
How touching this scene was! And I myself felt
