Perhaps, one thing that Mommy and Daddy is thankful for, Anak, is that you have a grateful heart. 

There were times when you really like what Mommy served in the table; in that you not only say “oishi/delicious” several times and not just simply say “gochisousama deshita/it’s been a good meal” (both in themselves already enough motivation for Mommy to cook even better). You also say a hearty “arigatou gozaimashita” with a big, satisfied smile on your face. 

After giving you a bath, you also loudly say “arigatou gozaimashita”. Or sometimes you say it in a sweet tone and a sweet smile whilst looking deep into Mommy’s eyes, “arigatou ne, Mommy”. 

Even when Mommy is tired, it simply dissipates whenever your express your grateful heart. 

Mom and Dad pray that you’ll continue to grow up with that grateful heart. Keep it up Anak.
