I have relatives in Hong Kong (I am Korean) and just received a letter from them for Christmas. I want to write a little excerpt from their letter because it cracked me up and I want to remember it.
Background story: This family is very near and dear to me not just because they are my relatives but because they are true living testimonies of God's grace. They have shown me that it's never too late to live, never too late to hope, and never too soon to hold onto the Lord. Their oldest son Isaac was born 3 months premature. His twin sister Rachel Grace did not make it through labor. He lived in an incubator for many months, underwent various surgeries, battles certain hearing and speech disabilities because of the extreme pre-mature birth. I had a chance to stay with them when they were living in Japan and play with him. It makes me so happy to hear that they are all growing together as a family. I've taken the names out simply for their protection because I don't trust the internet. HAHA
Excerpt from letter:
"While [the dad, my cousin] is keeping very busy as usual working, working, working, what he really loves is the time he spends with I--- and A---. Daddy loves coming up with fun activities for the children and keeping them on their toes. He is often more entertained than the kids forcing them to learn "safe words" (in our case "DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY") to escape severe tickling, performing a new form of physical therapy on I--- by applying submission moves learned from UFC fights and continually trying to catch the kids in a moment of inattentiveness by intentionally misreading stories or pretending to be a petulant North Korean by blatantly denying something he just said."
HAHAHAHAHA I just cracked up again. That made me smile. I love their humor, too =)
Merry CHRISTmas!!!
Smile big,
E.H.
