Remember the day when I first started playing starcraft? I think both of us won't forget that moment. I played vs computer, and I couldn't remember anything. So you would always come over to my computer at the beginning of the game and type 'power overwhelming' 'operation cwal' etc etc.

Now that I've grown up, I don't need someone else to memorize those lines anymore. Seems like I can do everything alone now. I'm in college, and I can take care of myself. Or can I?

When I got the first package from home, I cried. Not because I was sad or happy, but the fact that you cared about me. When I opened up the package, there was nothing special; any ordinary student might have gotten the same package. Yet, it didn't matter. I didn't ask for the stuff because I didn't want you to worry about me. But even after I've moved away to college, you still care about me. No matter what.

Remember the day when you figured out that I was translating BW matches? I thought you were going to flip out. Instead, you said 'Well, since its something that you like and it does help you translate, it's all good.'

No matter what I did, you supported me. Whether it be studying, translating, sports or anything, if I liked it and if it seemed beneficial, you supported me 100%. I thought you were going to be mad when I said 'I want to go watch BW while in Korea.' Instead of yelling, you said that I could visit as long as I keep up with other things going on (at that time, it was kinda hectic). You encouraged me to keep translating, and it lead to better results as time passed by (CJ ENTUS house visit). You encouraged me to film the ISL2 intro video during our busy schedule in Korea, because I was having fun with it, and I was learning After Effects through the process.

Remember few days ago when you finally realized that I was broadcasting online for BW? Yes, I think you were slightly disappointed, but you also knew that I kept my grades up, and told me to let out my stress through broadcasting.

Really?

I don't think any mom can say that when their kids are away at college: you expect them to study and get #1 in the class. Instead, you think about my well-being before anything. Maybe its because of the hard times that I went through in high school, but the fact that you think of me as a person before anything else.

It's been only 2 months away from home, but I already miss you. Sure, there's skype and other applications that I can use to communicate with you, but it doesn't feel the same. When I return home, these are the first words that I'm going to say:

'Mom, Thank You.'

Your mom helped you cheat in BW? That is absolutely badass.

On a serious note, very touching post man. I wish my parents had more interest in SC.
