Confidant



Xu Kai (left)

we've hung out, studied and grown together for about two years
she laughs easy and has a driving vision for her future
her apartment is a short walk from ours and she's always eager to lend a me hand

Zeng Ting (right)

bookish and quiet, yet bravely honest with her closest friends
recently married, recently started a professorship
with Xu Kai, we've been learning and growing together through mishap and recovery





 Tan Yuqian

grad student majoring in asthetics, leader in local groups
she's joyful, grounded and steady, and has a natural inclination to serve
she's the one I seek out when in need of a friend who can encourage with truth




Zhong Qiufen

first met when she was a sophomore in college; now she's a working woman
been through lots o'stuff (deaths, boyfriends & breakups, family changes like adding Mike & Jon,  graduation & job changes)
we can be completely transparent with each other




Yang Cong

neighbor and friend, practices commercial law part-time
more analytical and perceptive than the average jane, she's very smart and loves to share
it's nice to have a friend who is a mother and a critical thinker




Ai Siyuan

lookee here...my best buddy.

counting the graces
thank you Father for
getting to know classmate Xiu Xiu as she accompanied the boys and me to market
Jonathon's teachers praising him
noticing Mai Mai's hands, still small and I never want to forget these little hands
dinner guests who insist insist on washing the dishes
chances to help out Matt & Liao Sha
peeking through the window, a glimpse of Mai Mai sound asleep in his preschool naptime bed
after a long week, husband happy when he got home from work today
your impeccable timing and orchestration of a November trip
