November 8


Today is my bro's birthday, and I'm glad I got the chance to eat lunch with him!
I didn't get him anything, but what do you get him who has a lot of the toys?

For Aidan's birthday I forgot to post this particular poem that my dad wrote (in Chinese) for
Aidan's bday card and I helped translate, so here it is...
I wanted to put the Chinese up to, but it takes me too long to input Mandarin characters, so here's
the English version...

Dedication to my grandson
I wish you…
Without trouble nor tribulation, only health and development
To be blessed with magnificent beauty, resembling the serene wind through leaves
To become sharp and clever, lucid and pure as the stream that runs through this earth
To behave and speak with conduct and eloquence much like the spring breeze that harmonizes and soothes.
To have ample discipline in academics, and also to have abundant capability in achieving accomplishments.

To live life without being spoiled rich, nor obtain lavish splendors of this world, but to live with all one needs in life.
