Swimming

Sharon took Enoch swimming yesterday and Michael swimming today. She didn't grow up swimming, and I don't think it was until college that she really tried to teach herself. Swimming isn't very big in China, and she took it on by herself and learned. I think her ability to learn and do new things on her own is impressive.

Independent and strong

I've always admired how Sharon has come here to america all by herself, how she has stayed here without any family support, how she is raising our family here so far from where she grew up. I know it's hard for her to see others who have parents close by who can help and support her. My parents are wonderful but it is of course no substitute for her own family, who are so far away. She is a strong and independent women, whom I love!
