Last night I got home from China. It was my first time away from my little man. 7 days. A world away. His old world. We told him I was going on a work vacation. We didn't want him to want to come with so we told him it was work and that it would be cold and snowy. It was hot and humid. I promised UltraMan toys and I delivered.
China will always hold a special place in my heart. I love its harmonious chaos. I love what it stands for and the culture that its people hold onto as their world changes at a drastic speed. China is a dichotomy between old and new; its people, its traditions, its economy. Moreover, it is the first home of my son. China took care of my baby for the first 4 years of his life. They kept him alive and they made him into the sweet, caring, funny child he is today. They made him strong and they made him persevere. I will be forever thankful for what China has given to our family.

Ditto - on that last sentence.
ReplyDeleteJust curious how'd Everest do with one parent gone? We haven't done that yet, but it's coming soon.
