      Yay! The first day of Chinese New Year. This is the year of the dragon, which is probably the most auspicious year for the Chinese, since we Chinese are the descendants of the dragon.Every year during this time I miss my family terribly. It's supposed to be a time for family gathering and I miss out on that every year ever since I moved to the U.S. Sigh […]

    Tribute to our Troops… and Sharon

    By Leighton | June 10, 2008

    I was thinking about Sharon today, and I remembered the song “Leaving on a Jet Plane” by John Denver. I went to find it on youtube and found this one. It is geared towards the American Troops that are overseas and away from their loved ones. My heart goes out to them. I also know what it feels like to be away from someone you love very much. This song describes how I felt on the day I took Sharon to the Airport. I still remember it clearly, helping her check her bags and get to the right place, making sure she had everything, then came the part where she had to go and I had to stay. I stayed and watched her as she moved up through the line, then when she was out of sight, I went upstairs to watch her from the balcony. She didn’t know it, but I watched her as she had her bags scanned, then as she walked down the long hallway amid a throng of other travelers. When I finally couldn’t see her anymore, I closed my eyes and turned around and sighed. I knew that I would miss her. I knew that it would be hard. I slowly made my way back to where I had parked the car, and began the long (7 hour) drive back to Utah alone.

    Here is the video that describes how I felt:
