wow, this is a very long list of LOVE.
:)
So, your big bear is not Asian, his mother tongue is English, right?
It is so good for you, you can learn to speak English even faster!!
Hope you guys communicate well forever. :D

Yes....
So far...we do need more patience to communicate on some issues, especially cross-cultural ideas.
Have the way of God to do things is always what we want. It seems that we know that we have to communicate well, we are careful to get some thinking across, instead of expecting someone will understand your needs without speaking out.

Sometimes we forget the feeling when the love is not fresh anymore. And then, we take everything for granted. One day, this reminds me how did we start liking and loving each other. How did we think of each other at that moment. Remind myself don 2007-01-29 06:07:52
