My broken Russian

Some of my friends know that I used to be able to speak a lil bit of Russian.
A few know that I want to pick up Russian again (spoken only, written Russian is too troublesome).

Mom called yesterday. I tried using some Russian words I've just learnt to talk to her. Well, she forgot most of her Russian. I told her "I think my Russian now is even better than yours". Reasonably, it's been more than 10 years since the last time she used the language (and I think my terrible memory is genetic).

Today I opened my mailbox and saw her mail.

Моя дочка. Я очень люблю тебяю.

I thought I forgot everything about written Russian. But when I opened this mail, by the first glance I could understand. Without using Google Translate, of course.

And I also know that she didn't use Google Translate to write this. Mom, you made a mistake. It's "тебя", not "тебяю". Where got "тебяю"? Ay yo.

Mom, you are both unpredictable and predictable, do you know that? I bet you don't. Anw, it doesn't matter, because Я тоже люблю тебя :)
