Beautiful spring has come, and the weather is getting warmer. How have you been lately? I miss you.
I still remember the first time I met you at the opening ceremony of the Family Sharing Programme – wearing sunglasses on your head, you held lovely little Michael in your arms while chatting with me and Katherine. Though I was a little shy and didn’t talk much, as my English was not so good, I felt really lucky to have met you and could tell I was going to have a lot of nice memories with you in the days ahead.
Do you remember our first dinner gathering in Lei Yu Mun? Before the dinner, we chose seafood together, passing through the narrow alleys and the bustling seafood market. We watched the sunset by the shore, listening to the sea breeze. Later, at the dinner table, we chatted happily, and the seafood was so delicious! Also, I was surprised that little James and Michael were so well-behaved and independent, and their English was so good at such a young age! They are really different from the children of my hometown.
The boys’ Christmas caroling that you invited me to attend was another pleasant experience. When I watched you and your sons sing and dance on stage, I was very moved. I could feel your strong love and pride for your family and your passion for life. This emotion influenced me a lot, making me decide to love my own life more.
I really enjoyed the time with you and your family a lot, Monica. Thank you very much! You cared about me not only when we first met, but continually through the whole semester. You recommended a lot of interesting activities both on and off campus, and blessed me when I had exams or during festivals. Your kindness made me love Hong Kong, this vigorous city, much more! I will treasure our memories forever!
Best regards,
Echo
