Today, I had the pleasure of having a new guest, Mei, join me in this episode, sharing her own first-hand experience of being a mother.

And what a coincidence! It's mother's day today! Perfect timing for a perfect topic!

Along with her husband, Mei was introduced to us back in early 2017 by Nelli. Over the years, we somehow managed to stay in touch and maintain a "visit frequency" of at least once a year. Each time we met, we seemed to have something new to share with each other, witnessing the process of growing up on both sides. And this time, Mei brought her story of spending 4 months with her baby back in China, while the quarantine policy there was still not lifted in December 2022.

When I was younger, I always thought I'd also have to have children, because that's the idea and the "plan" we were raised with. However, over the years, I learned the fact that one could actually choose, whether they want to have children, or not. After all, it's no longer a path that everyone has to go down.

However, we're happy for Mei and her husband for becoming parents. because that's what they both want, and we're firmly convinced that they'll do a great job at it! <3

Happy mother's day, Mei! And happy mother's day to all the mothers, including my own!

It's mother's day today, and it's mother's day every day!
