Update

I received a letter from my mom today. She's in Taiwan right now, taking care of a family emergency, and I haven't heard from her in weeks. I miss her lots.

Everything is going great, and my mom might stay a couple extra weeks than we originally planned.

She sent me a pretty embroidered scarf, which is absolutely lovely, but I don't have anything that will go with it. As much as people complain about stuff from Taiwan and China, they have the loveliest things there.
