Linh & I resolved our last major and very necessary hurdle today – we obtained the many documents required to obtain & actually got her WV ID card from the WV DMV. This seemingly endless, exhausting, 2+-week effort (as evidenced by the above pic!) successfully ended today during Linh's very rushed lunch-break.
These past 4 weeks were also full of many very entertaining, even funny events/moments, like: witnessing Linh & Vinh's amazement experiencing their first snow; their amazement how the sun could be so bright and it could still be so cold (as low as -12F = -25C); both meeting Santa Claus and experiencing their 1st American Christmas; Linh's 1st experience with a vacuum cleaner; Linh cutting the towel bath sheets, that Santa gave her, in half because they were too large; Linh's amazement having & experiencing her 1st modern electronics like wireless printer/scanner/copier, desk lamp, iron, and; far too many other firsts to elaborate! All very much unforgettable events for ME!
During these past 4 short weeks, Linh has also certainly progressed in many, many ways – most notably: her English skills have vastly improved; her self-confidence has increased tremendously, and; she is definitely quickly learning to be independent! In short – Linh is growing up very quickly!
Tomorrow morning, I am leaving Morgantown and returning home. It is with a heavy heart that I will not be seeing Linh daily. I know that I will miss her dearly. But, we will be in touch daily via phone
