   •   I am aware that you believe me to be overbearing and perhaps a bit out of place with my excessive concerns, but you are the daughter I never had. Know that I am here for you every step of the way, no matter what.

   •   I look forward to the day that you graduate, and furthermore to see what you become. I’m looking forward to you coming home.

   •   I’m afraid I will have to cancel our plans for tomorrow, Taohua. They will have to be rescheduled for another time. My cellphone will be off, however if you need to reach me, dial the Tong Gate hospital. Extension 412.

   •   Do not fret. I am fine.

   •   I would have preferred to send you on this trip than myself. I feel like you would enjoy it much more than I am able to. Perhaps next time you can go in my stead.

   •   If not, then I suppose you will simply have to come with me.

   •   Give me the plates of the car that rear-ended you. I will make certain that their license is revoked.
