Congratulations on my daughter's fifth birthday.

Best wishes for a happy birthday!

Today is your fifth birthday. As in previous years, my father will write you a letter on this day every year to commemorate this extraordinary day. When you grow up, reread this letter with annual ring stamps, and you will be full of memories and feelings. Dad will also take the time to read the letter to you, and slowly you may understand dad's mind.

Time, an elf, is always so hard to grasp, as fleeting as quicksand between fingers. You are like a phonograph of all good memories, in this short and long time. Every time I think of you, the good memories in my mind are as vivid and interesting as fresh fish jumping out of the water.

This year, many changes have taken place in our family. What we should go is always lingering, but what we should come makes us feel abrupt.

You have a high fever three times and a low fever once this year. Every two or three months, when the season changes, you are particularly prone to colds and coughs. Every time you get sick, we are worried about your health, because this little cold will make you have a runny nose, lose interest in beautiful things and then cause a cough. Then it is followed by a series of chain reactions such as throat inflammation and high fever, and when you are sick, it is more likely to make your condition worse. So every time I get sick, I have a bad temper. You have gained more understanding and participation again and again, and successfully defeated many little monsters. However, we didn't meet several times, which caused you to have a high fever and a bad cough. You can't play with children in kindergarten. We all feel sorry for you, even nervous and anxious. I remember one afternoon when you suddenly had a high fever, my father hurried back after receiving the phone call and stayed by your side all night, carefully recording the repeated fluctuations of your body temperature from 36.8℃ to 40.2℃. When it was over 40℃, my father accidentally dozed off at three in the morning. You scared dad. I'll wake you up to take medicine and drink hot water. Slowly, mom and dad learned how to deal with a little monster like you have a cold and fever. We are delighted to see that you have become more sensible and understand mom and dad's feelings every time you face a little monster. We are very happy.

Do you remember which class you were in this year? Yes, you have entered the middle class this year! I remember when school started, you said to me cheerfully, "Dad, I'm in the middle class. I want to be a sister! " Dad is also very happy for you, because the word "sister" is a kind of "luxury" for children in 42 1 families now. You are willing to play with your brothers and sisters, just like the uncles and aunts who live next door to us. This is an opportunity. Since we met them, we have learned to be kind to each other and get along with each other, not just adults. I know that you are possessive at this stage, but my father still hopes that you can know how to share, just like the Kong Rong children in the story Let Pears Be in Kong Rong that my father told you last time, and learn to be polite. Some people say that the world is actually very simple, but people's hearts are very complicated. But what dad wants to tell you is that the human heart is not complicated, because it is complicated by desire. As long as we are simple, your world will be simple.

Many years ago, when my father joined the company, he once took a course called "Ali Centennial" (similar to your schooling). When I graduated, my class teacher gave me a sentence, which I always remember and today I also gave to you: What kind of person you are and what kind of world you are. I hope you can always remain awe and humble, modest, serious, principled and methodical, and it is enough to be yourself. So what is "good enough"? People are often misunderstood as racing against others and time. In fact, we are racing against our past selves. On the other hand, the end of each day is also a new starting point. Running against yourself will make you better today than yesterday. Dad is looking forward to being with you, making us stronger every day.

Dear baby, I'm really sorry. For some reasons that you can't understand for the time being, dad can't spend your birthday with you this year, but the birthday gift that dad gave you was prepared a month ago. Will dad make up your birthday party when you arrive in Hangzhou?

With a flick of a finger, the day of our meeting drew near. Dad wants to see you every day, accompany you to read picture books, draw, dance and run … especially at this time tonight! Every year at this time, I will think of today, five years ago, when you were born, which brought us infinite joy. You are the expectation of our family and my mother is pregnant in October. So every year today, don't forget to thank your mother for her contribution, because this day is not only your birthday, but also the day of your mother's disaster. We can forget the joys and sorrows, forget the past, but we must not forget gratitude.

Dad sometimes wants you to grow up overnight, but he is afraid of losing the company of growing up. When you grow up, dad hopes you can have your own hobbies and habits and realize your ideals according to your own ideas. Although mom and dad gave you life, they won't impose our regrets and visions on you, because dad firmly believes that you are a unique individual in this world, and you should not stick to our trajectory, let alone make yourself what kind of person for us. Mom and Dad only hope that you can stick to justice, be bold, live seriously and treat this unknown person well. Whenever and wherever, mom and dad will support you and help you at your fingertips. You can tell us if you are wronged, or you can share interesting things with us. Dad is ready to be your best friend for life. You are here and I am here.

Dear daughter, forgive my father for talking a little too much today. In fact, to sum up, there are four key words: understanding, awe, gratitude and courage. Dad hopes you can be yourself, become wonderful, forget the past, fear the future and move forward bravely. No matter what happens, mom and dad will always be your strong backing and love you forever.

Today is your fifth birthday. Dad, congratulations on getting one year older and unlocking more interesting people and things. The road ahead has been paved, and the road ahead is still very long. We will experience more joys and sorrows that life gives us day by day, and they will also make us grow imperceptibly.

Don't worry, dad will always be by your side to protect you, grow up with you, and continue to play the game we agreed on about growth. We are all protagonists in the game. Let's start over! Let's go!
