It takes courage, patience, and love. My mother also came to the US from China, and I can imagine you must have quite a challenge bridging those cultures. It sounds like you have lots of love as well<br /><br />Good luck to you too. It's so nice to find other people who understand the experience.Chichimecahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12925310168691129259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099585987576297814.post-36795450515446172842010-04-10T09:43:23.290-07:002010-04-10T09:43:23.290-07:00Wow that was beautifully written. I understand so...Wow that was beautifully written. I understand some of your experience as someone living in China with a significant relationship here. It is difficult to balance your own identity while trying not to clash with the one of your loved one's. I also have a renewed respect and admiration for my parents' decision to immigrate to the U.S. also in their 20's and to become citizens. I now understand how difficult it is to adjust to another country and culture. I think it is one of the bravest things you can do for the ones you love. Good luck.Christine Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11460211162079463053noreply@blogger.com
