Happy Birthday Ti!!!!

Today Ti is 25. He came to live with us when he was 16 and finished High School and then returned to his Vietnamese family after college. This is him sitting on his Dad’s motorcycle. He is like a son to us - you can’t be that involved in someone’s life and them not become a part of your family. We love you deeply Ti and are so proud of you - your success in your life, education, and job. Keep it up! Ti, I feel you taught us, far more than we taught you. Here are some of the lessons you taught us:
1. How to love someone from a different culture and religion and live under the same roof.
2. Different ways of thinking about God and meaning - as well as critical thinking.
3. How to eat louder!
4. How to hug and say I love you - that has always been very important to you - physical affection and words.
5. How you really are to wear a bathing suit.
6. How to hide your money when traveling around the world.
7. ?????? Ben, Jill, Nikki . . . . . . what am I missing????????

Ok, Bob, You HAVE to explain #5! You can't put something like that out there and not give us the story behind it!
