A thought about Christmas

I don't know how to express my feeling exactly. In 2007, our family go through many challenges. First, Hiro went to Singapore for job searching in the end of December of 2006. Then, we decided to move back to Japan around January in 2007. A few weeks later, I found out that I carried another baby inside my body. However, I almost miscarried my baby so that I got to stay in Taiwan with Mai for another three months. Mai and I did miss Hiro everyday. We went through many big events without being with Hiro, a lonely Christmas, New Year celebration, Chinese New Year and even Hiro's B-day. In the middle of 2007, I again took Mai back to Taiwan and went to L.A. Hiro and I were almost apart for 5 months. It was hard for Hiro not able to be with us when Haru was born. It was hard for me to go labor by myself and pushed Haru alone. It was hard for Mai to not hugging Hiro and playing with him.
Tonight, when I sit down with my own family, I just want to thank to Heavenly Father. It cannot be better to be with my own family on this wonderful holiday. Watching Mai opens her presents from us, family, friends, and Santa, I really want to yell to everyone that I love my family.
Early before when Hiro asked me about the Christmas gift for this year, I did not really have something in my mind. Now, I know what I want to have the gift for this year which is being with Hiro, kids and just staying together.
Although it's a cold day, my heart is so warm.
Merry X'mas...............my love ones.

真不知道該怎麼表達我內心的感覺

2007真的是充滿挑戰的一年

我們從Hawaii搬家, Hiro到新加坡, 我則和Mai在台灣等待他

不久後我發現我又要當mommy了

但是初期的懷孕讓我差點就失去寶貝孩子

不得已下我得留在台灣接受媽媽的照顧和幫忙

Hiro和我及Mai錯過了好多美好的holidays, 2006年的Christmas,

新年和台灣的農曆年

我想念Hiro

Mai想念Hiro

Hiro想念我們

在這麼寒冷的天氣下

在一個我不太熟悉的國度裡

在經歷那麼多的挑戰和分離
我們終於可以在一起

渡過一個這麼棒的X'mas

手中抱著小小寶貝, 輕輕遙遙他

看著Mai開開心心的吃著Hiro特別準備的聖誕蛋糕

我真的很感激天父

Hiro問我今年想要什麼禮物

當時我並沒有特別想要的東西
現在我知道了

能和家人在一起便是最棒最好的禮物了

聖誕快樂...........我親愛的家人

天氣冷冷地

我的心熱呼呼地

A surprised gift from Hiro.......Cutie Christmas Cake
