Shortly after she was born, I moved to China. When I left she still could not walk or talk. Now she can do both! She loves to play games, watch cartoons, and draw pictures. Last August, McKinlee’s sister was born. I wish that I could see them everyday. I don’t know what McKinlee wants to be when she grows up, but I hope she lives life to the fullest and always knows how much she’s loved.
