兩年前，因緣際會聽見李健唱的這首《今天是妳的生日，媽媽》，深深觸動了我的心弦，讓我想起了我的媽媽，和十幾年來漂泊在外的心境。今年初，研究所的一位好友搬到紐約，將他帶不走的吉他留給了我。三月中適逢新冠肺炎封城，大家在家工作不用通勤，突然多出了一些時間，我就趁機靠著網路和 Youtube 學了一些吉他的皮毛。三個月的練習下來，我終於能在媽媽媽生日的這天，自己唱這首歌給她聽。
媽媽生日快樂！我愛妳！
I first heard of this song two years ago. It really touched my heart, as it reminded me of my mom, and my experience in the past 10+ year far away from home. Earlier this year, Felix moved to New York and left me with his guitar. We started to work from home due to COVID-19 in mid-March. I all of a sudden have extra time every day because I don’t have to commute. I took this time to learn some guitar chords online and from Youtube. After three months of practicing, I can finally sing this song for my mom on her birthday.
Happy birthday mom! I love you!
