From the birth of my daughter to the present, I will carefully prepare for her every birthday, stain the background wall with balloons, hang colorful lanterns, and buy a beautiful birthday cake... But this year, I missed the appointment.

April 28 is my daughter's 8th birthday.
At 5 o'clock in the morning, I woke up from a dream, drowsy. I opened my phone and looked through my daughter's photos in the album. From toddler to Tingting Xiaoyuan, the daughter in each photo is smiling like a flower, and I am in tears when I look at it.
Since the closure of Puxi on April 1, I, like thousands of medical staff in Changning, packed up and left my family in advance and threw myself into the "battle" against the epidemic, and I have not seen my daughter for 29 days. Before leaving, he promised his daughter that she would come back before her birthday, and now she has broken her appointment.
"Although my heart is full of guilt for my child, I can't bring negative energy to my child when I think about it, so I must raise my spirit and let my daughter see the strength in her mother." So, I used the phone to instruct my husband to make a cake with ingredients and molds from home, and unexpectedly, he actually succeeded.
On the afternoon of my birthday, after all the sampling work was completed, I video connected with my husband and daughter at home through WeChat, and the three of them sang "Birthday Song" together, and the laughter of my daughter's silver bell passed through the mobile phone and was forever imprinted in my heart.
"It's a rare life experience, and when my daughter has a baby decades later, I can take a picture and tell him that his mother once had such an unusual birthday." Looking at the photos on my phone, I imagined the future.
● Reporter's Note
When interviewing medical staff, we always hear the words: We are medical workers, this is our responsibility. Not only themselves, but also many ordinary people will say this: this is the responsibility of their medical staff. Yes, there is nothing wrong with responsibility, but in addition to responsibility, they are also the children of their parents, the parents of their children, the wives, the husbands, and ordinary people who are tired and cry. May the epidemic dissipate as soon as possible, and may these "angels in white" be reunited with their families as soon as possible.
