Before I left for China 4 years ago, I remember telling my mother I was going to come back with a wife and child. Unbelievablely, that is coming true! Soon I will be bringing your mom and you back to the US with me. It’s been a long difficult four years in China, but I got what I wanted more than anything else in the world, you! Yes, there is absolutely nothing in this world that means more to me than you, my son. Since I became a man and began to recognize what’s important and meaningful to me, it was clear I wanted a son.

I always want to play and teach and learn and be together with you. I want to be your father and friend, to share life and joy together for as long as I live. I know you will grow up and start your own family and have children of your own, because it is wonderful. Sometimes I get caught up in the responsibilities of being a dad, sometimes I just want to sit and play with you too. I like to blow bubbles and make stuff out of Play-Doh too.

The past year was tough because I had a full time job that was in Pudong. But my goal upon arriving in the states is to work towards a building a small business that makes enough for our family to live comfortably, to work at projects that I enjoy, to play the sports that I love, and spend my free time playing and learning with you. I want to buy you telescopes and microscopes, science gear and books, lots of fun, interesting, powerful books that will enlighten you and enrich you. I want to take you out in the sunshine to play ball and out in the evening to gaze at the sunrise, the moon and a galaxy full of stars.

More than anything I want to be there for you and with you as you grow up. So that is what I will do. As always, I love you.
