It was a birthday card from my aunt, and a most unexpected one indeed. My birthday this year had been dominated by the e-card, since mailing letters, not to mention packages, can be expensive.
It was a standard birthday card but it made my day. I showed my Chinese colleagues, who had been unaware that I had had a birthday, since it fell over the Mid-Autumn Festival week when we didn't work.
My one co-worker said I was very lucky to have family that cares about me.
Yes, I am lucky. Very lucky, I said.
