We leaving tomorrow.
Call me to say bye I
lo----ve you
Be lazy
you deserve it. I am so
exiting thinking Santa
Babara trip. We had
gone you were four years
old.
I didn’t know I will
be this age and feel tired
so easy and keep forget
everything. You are
in your precious times.
But don’t forget you
will be my age and regret
things. Don’t try to do more
thing or care too many
people.
How cold? I
hope you walk underground
path. Sometimes cold wakes
us up. In Korea I like winter
pretty much I like desire
for surviving more than any
season. We were hungry
too. Good luck
How is
your feeling? I will pray
every morning for you. Sorry
that I am not good mother
who you can share everything.
But trust me
I love you more
than I had loved you.
You
are so mature to understand
old analog emotion.
I want
to say sorry I didn’t share
enough your pain when you
are that young. Thank you
for get over your special
difficulty. I love you and
strange to say I respect
you. This centrury is too
dry. I am happy you have
emotion
Don’t skip any
meal. If you miss, you
can’t get meal forever. I
just tell you that you have
strong will to overcome
the situation.
Don’t forget
you are million times
precious than money. I
hope you had a good day.
We will send more corns
next month.
I have heard
that your cousin cried on her 30th
B-day last week. You guys
didn’t say to her. Bad
sisterhood. Send her
something. E card, etc.
