Lit by Your son, John, April 24, 2015 -- Hi again Daddy & Thanks 24th April 2015
Hi Daddy,
Sorry didn't post anything since March. Okay, so a few things to note. First, thank you so much for looking after us everyday. The weather in Charlotte/Gastonia and here in Philadelphia were pretty harsh - snow, wind, rain, you name it. We all had our share of inconvenience, but no real harm came upon us as we went about in their busy lives. It's amazing how our kids have grown up and we are so proud of what they've become, and how they've succeeded to look out on their own and lead busy and constructive lives. Ethan is 17 this year - the good news - he got into 4 colleges, and is ready to make his final selection. It's down to Univ of Pittsburg and Penn State. Please give him the guidance to seek out what he wants to do academically. I know that you'll be there to answer his prayers and questions and lead him to the path that's best for him.
By the way - you will be proud.... Yeeva got a scholarship from Davidson's College. It's amazing how smart and hardworking she is, and it makes us all so proud of her.
Last but not least, I'm praying for Ken and Michele, and Rachael and Mike, and Amelia and Daniel, and Jennifer and Vilay, Stephanie and Greg, and Kevin. They lead such busy lives. Jennifer and Vilay are getting married soon, wish you could be here to celebrate the pride and happiness that we all share.
Take care Daddy, and say hi to Ying's father. She misses him so much and wishes that he's up there with you enjoying all the foods you had longed to eat when you weren't well.
We love you so much.
-- John, your son.
