I'm probably breaking confidence a bit as a dad, but here is part of my son's collection that I found the other day while cleaning up around the house. Before he left for the States, Xander had taken a plastic apple-shaped pencil holder and filled it with scraps of paper, each of which had an important life goal written on it. Here are a few:
- Get in world record
- Good life
- Nice Family
- Ride 1st class plane seat
- 100 元 (Yuan - the Chinese currency)
Hard to believe, but he and I left for the US on July 18 - almost four months ago. I haven't been posting about his story much on this blog, but today, some good news - he had successful surgery to remove the pins and external fixators that were holding his bones in place as they healed. That means a green light to travel China, so Jane and Xander will be flying back early next week! To say that there is much relief at the whole thing being over is a bit of an understatement...
