This piece came from our friend Sandra, and I know how special and dear it is to her so it means very much to us. It is a piece of material from a shirt that her dad always wore. Her father died in a work related accident and she has held onto it for the past 15 years. She said it is very important to her and therefore important to share it with such a special little girl.
Her wish to Mei Lin:
My wish for you is to enjoy all the freedom this country has to offer and always follow your dreams.
Once there were two women who never knew each other. One you do not remember, the other you call your mother. Two different lives shaped to make you one. One became your guiding star, the other became your sun. The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it. The first gave you a need for love, the second was there to give it. One gave you nationality. The other gave you a name. One gave you a talent, the other gave you aim. One gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears. One saw your first sweet smile, the other dried your tears. One sought for you a home she could not provide, the other prayed for a child and her hope was not denied. And now you ask me, through your tears, the age-old question unanswered through the years. heredity or environment, which are you a product of? Neither, my darling, neither. Juest two different kinds of love. ~ Author Unknown
Thank you Sandra. I love it.
