Dearest Taeya, We just have a handful of things left to wait for before I can travel now. I feel as though I am so close to you like if I opened my eyes wide enough I could see you. I look at the last picture of you differently now. It's like I see you in a clarity that wasn't there yesterday. I look at the shape of your hands. I look at the pretty little teeth in your mouth. I look at your perfect eyes that look like a crescent moon when you are smiling super big like you seem to do a lot. I am starting to think about the sound of your laugh. Like can I hear it in the picture?? I can almost hear you speaking Chinese to me. I can almost hear myself answer you in Chinese. I wonder if you know of us yet. I wonder what you are doing right now. Is someone holding you? Is someone telling you they love you? I went to the store today and bought the simplest of things - a toothbrush. It was so simple that it hit me hard. You are coming soon. I can go to China soon to get you. I can go to China soon. Soon I will know the sound of your voice in my ears. Soon I will know the smell of your breath when you talk to me really close. Soon I will know what it feels like to have you reach for my hand as we are walking somewhere. I will soon know what all those cute little facial twitches you do look like up close. I will get to see you do that really cute blink you do with your eyes. I will get to smell your hair and touch it. I can gently pull your hair back from your face and tuck it behind your ears. I can read you a story. I can kiss you goodnight and hold you until you fall asleep... soon...
