爸爸給妳的一封信


Dear Daughter,

When Dad first saw you as a tiny pulse on the ultrasound monitor in Dr. Kee Seng Koh's clinic, I was filled with blissful joy and excitement. Though I do not yet know what you will be called, I know you simply as my Beloved.

When Mom and I learned about your gender from Dr. Joseph Li, we thought about names that would be appropriate for you. We want names that symbolize beauty and strength, intelligent and compassionate.

Edith is an Old English word that combines "ead" meaning "rich, blessed" and "gyth" meaning "warrior, fighter." Dad got the idea of this name from the famous Pulitzer Prize-winning American author Edith Wharton. This name represents my hope that you would grow up to be a happy, blessed child, who will carry a strong fighting spirit under any circumstance.

Seraphine is a French name from the Latin word Seraphim, the name of the highest order of angels, with six beautiful wings, who stand around God's throne, singing praise. I wish you become a person with shiny inner beauty, who is not afraid to be generous and compassionate toward others.

Chang is Dad's Chinese family name. I was born and raised in Taiwan, and later immigrated with my family to the U.S. at the age of 11. Yang is Mom's Chinese family name. She was born, raised and educated in Taiwan, who later met Dad in Houston, Texas, where we wed on April 18, 2004.

We have been waiting for your arrival for quite sometimes, Edi. You are our child. You are Edith Seraphine Chang.


Dad

小BB...姨姨一直在想你像誰...結果看到媽媽跟爸爸在 Disney World 的照片...阿姨終於了解了. 原來...你兩個都像~!

為什麼會這樣呢...? 都怪你爸媽兩個人長得太像了...難怪我怎麼看都覺得你兩個都像 (媽媽應該會生氣、難過...媽媽一定會說她哪有跟爸爸像!)。等你長大一點...我想你們出門應該會成為 "維尼家族三人行" 喔 ~ ^^

FOR KELLY姨:
別擔心,下次看見妳,我會給我小孩戴安全帽的,呵呵。

FOR JOJO姨:
我家寶貝確實和我家老爺脾氣很像,我只能說阿,基因讚勝胎教。

FOR T.C & GOEFF:
謝謝你們,與你們分享我的喜悅與喜氣,希望新一年你們也可以心想事成,至於召開記者會的話那就不用了啦,有空可以聚聚是真的,待我身體康復嚕。
