亲爱的沁芝宝贝

记得。你如此美丽。本来就是完美的，一直都是。也不会减少。

Remember always—–that you have been this beautiful, has always been, and will forever be.

There are things that can never be taken away, if its true.

Looking at you now, everyday, makes me appreciate and grateful. Appreciate what? Appreciate life and nature or that certain hand of god in the making. And grateful for this and all the opportunities I have had to have you and to grow with you.

Sometimes I m not too sure, if you saved me, or I saved you. Both ways perhaps.

This month came and went like a stream gently flowing and I can’t be more grateful for that. Normalcy is bliss.

Ah mei ayi has a new house and we went to celebrate her. She’s so awesome, handling finances on her own and building up on her own. Self made. SO much grit and determination in there.

A few weeks ago, both you and Hao got the flu virus, too happy to have nursed both of you back to health. And even more happy to receive this note.

Loving it that both of you are playing well together. Whether its being on the computer or playing opening shop.

You are almost as tall as me now.And every smile is precious to me. How we are relating to each other is evolving too. We are beginning to interact like sisters and friends. We talk a lot and I can see your sensitivity and perceptiveness coming through lots. And how you are always helping and giving of yourself.

The mother and nurturing nourishing function in me as a mother is giving way to sharing your emotions, joys and anger and guiding you to managing yourself as an individual, who is proud of your big and little achievements and not afraid to show your vulnerabilities.

Keep smiling like this always. Keep healthy and safe always, be well and happy always.
