The photo that's especially close to my heart was taken on my birthday last month, on August 22nd. It's so special because it captures my daughter, who's grown up so much, fully embracing the joy of celebrating a birthday. Last year, when we celebrated her birthday, she was only one year old and couldn't really enjoy it. But this time, I let her blow out the candles on my birthday cake. It was a truly special moment for me. In the photo, you can see a balloon decoration in the background. My wife put it together, and it took a lot of effort. She spent a lot of time making it look perfect. There were balloons, backdrops, and of course, a cake. It was a really special cake, not just because it was vegan, but also because it was a fruit cake with layers of different fruits. I absolutely loved it. I also vividly remember that my daughter was wearing a black dress and had a high ponytail. Her mom styled her beautifully. I really love that photo. Every time I see it, it makes me smile. I'm so grateful for my wonderful family.
