SHE WAS EXCITED BECAUSE SHE WAS GOING TO GO TO THE BIG

CITY WITH HER BOYFRIEND AND HIS FAMILY TO CELEBRATE

CHRISTMAS.

2 DAYS BEFORE SHE WAS GOING TO THE BIG CITY THE PANDA STARTED TO

FEEL SICK.

TO GET TO THE BIG CITY AFTER ALL.

Merry Christmas Little Panda,

We’ve come a long way since last Christmas in Singapore. Doesn’t last year seem like forever ago?

We are still adjusting to life here. I think more than anything else in this next year we need patience and understanding. The economy is bad, we still live with our parents, but ultimately we are going to be fine. Next Christmas is as far away as last Christmas feels - who knows where we will be financially/geographically/mentally - but we will be together.

Merry Christmas,

I love you,

g
