Children are our Future (Thankful List Day 19)

In many ways, I am very grateful that Elyse was born in the US. No doubt, it's been a struggle for Jon and me, but being able to guarantee a good future for her is everything to us. I'm not saying that had she been born in Malaysia she would have been left for wanting, but the door to opportunity lies open a little wider for her now.

I want her to know where her parents come from and how that contributes a little to who she is, and that it only makes sense for her to spend some time back home with our family. And when she decides she's ready to come back here, it'll be the start to another great adventure.
