I want to express how much I’m proud of being the big sister of this little nugget. I watched him grow from a baby into a mature man with an independent mind and someone who’s not afraid to speak his truth. He works hard and always manages to excel at things he wants; I mean he’s picky as hell and stubborn as fuck though - but he’s exactly who I semi-raised him to be. I’m sorry that I missed a big chunk of your life when you returned to Taiwan. That was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do, was to hear how upset you were on the phone. Nevertheless, just by how well I know you and how smart you are, I’ve always known you were gonna be fine without me. Despite the distance, I smile every time daddy and mommy update me on how fast you picked up Mandarin (no surprises there), what interests you’ve developed, and the goals you have set for yourself. 你是個多愁善感的人 而且人又善良 不論是對人或對事都記得一定要學會做自己能力範圍內可做的 (Don’t bite off more than you can chew) 千萬不要忘記照顧自己的身體 不要對不值得的事情太執著 也不要太鑽牛角尖 伶牙俐齒的你 偶爾要學會口下留情 (就嘴巴不要太賤吼) 學會換個角度思考 (with your stubborn ass) 在你眼睛盯著給自己定的目標邁進的同時 不要忘了愛你的家人 Congratulations again on getting into a good college! I worry about you moving out of the house (not that I live there, but you know), but deep down I know you’re fully capable of taking care of yourself, just like how I know I will always be proud and love you, little nugget @howard111898 💕 #siblinglove #大學新鮮人 #proudsister (at Taiwan)
