Preface:
I don't think I am writing in perfect English. I only wish, by doing so, someday in the future my son may have the chance of reading these materials and understanding how deeply his mother loves him...
For some reason, I can't live with my son together. Whatever the reason is, I always feel guity in my heart for I can't take care of him and accompany him, althouth I have been trying best to let him feel having no difference from other children around him. I phone him weekly and recently begin to write letter to him, because he is already Grade 2 in primary school. He enjoys Math's study but dislikes his Language and Literature (语文？）course. So I wonder if I can help him in his language study by writing to him.
I convert the letters into English here.

Dear my son,
Mama is writing to you again.
Last letter should have reached you already, right? How many characters don't you know? You ought to learn how to use a dictionary, you must do it well then you can understand mama easily, have you heart it?
Mama prepared an envelope ready for your use in this letter, with the stamp pasted and the address correctly written down. If you want to write to mama, you need only put your letter inside the envelope and then seal it by glue. And if you don't know where you can post the letter, you can seek help from your grandmother or from your cousin brother Ri too. Xinger, my dear son, you should learn how to gain help from others, for one's ability is limited and everyone, no matter who he is, has the time when help is needed. When you have difficulty which can't be solved by yourself, you should know all these people, your friends, your relatives and your teachers, that is, all the people who is loving you, would like to give you a hand. But, if you want to get help, you should firstly let others know that you are in need of help, right? And what's more, you should keep in mind that Mama'a help is available always.
Xinger, you told me last phone that you have a bird's feather want to send me as a gift. What kind of feather is it on earth? Is it of the dove which ever visited your grandmother's courtyard and lost a feather when flew away in a hurry? Oh, it has been about one year since you told me the story, and you have been reserving the feather till now! My dear son, mama will surely love your gift and will give it an whole-heared care after you send it to me.
In addition, mama have a gift for you too. It is a plant specimen of azalea flower. Mama made it a week ago. Unlike our city which is still a world of ice and snow, Chongqing is already a sea of flowers now and azalea is only one kind of the spring-flowering plants here. You will like it, I am sure.
Now, it should be the end here. Mama will write to you the next week.
Take good care of yourself, my son, you are already a "big man",right?
With love,
Mama
