The Joining of Our Hearts
My parents-to-be began their "Journey of the Heart" on Valentine's Day, 2001 - when they left Virginia for San Francisco. From there, they departed the next day for China and we joined our hearts as a family on February 18th.
Here I am! February 18, 2001 - when I first met Mommy. That's my favorite "Auntie" in the foreground. |
