How time flies. Twenty four years ago I held a perfect baby girl in my arms and she has had me wrapped around her fingers ever since. Lucky for me, she was never demanding, or selfish. Just the opposite. She was the calmest, happiest, easiest baby to take care of. All she seemed to need was to watch me going about my daily housewife chores. After growing a few years, she continued to show her wonderful disposition. I remember one Christmas asking the children to write their gift list letter to Santa. All my youngest daughter wanted was a set of false nails. Once I went with George to Taiwan for ten days and it broke my heart to leave my young daughter behind. Before saying goodbye she tucked a letter into the palm of my hand and told me that I could not open it until I was on the airplane. The letter was a love letter to her mommy, with a plea to come home safely. When we arrived in America, she found a job working for a dentist, so that she could be financially independent. She was only sixteen years old. She is now the best dental assistant around. Cindy, you are the only one of my children that was born under the covenant. I believe that you are a special gift from our Heavenly Father. I love you dearly.
