There is a lot I can say about the past 12 months… there were times that we were challenged with some new life adventures, but it wasn’t until I got home and spent some time with one of my nephews Jared… that I realized an important life lesson. As we landed, we were immediately introduced to two new concepts. The first one was “Roo” cups… Highly sugared drinks that come in a size much too larger for a little body and truly a parents nightmare 20 minutes after ingestion. (Jared’s wicked sweet tooth) You can almost see their eyes glazing over as they are drinking the toxic waste.
The second concept, was “YOLO.” It wasn’t until I returned to China that I realized it’s true meaning to me. (A meaning I will get to in a future post) But what it means is..
“YOLO … You Only Live Once”
We sucked every last bit of summer into our visit… and spent nearly everyday with the wind in our hair and sunscreen on our skin. We had an amazing summer… Building sandcastles and memories…
And while the kids are getting use to their city life in Shanghai...
They have learned that “home” isn’t a place...
Home is… who you are with!
