未來無限可能,人生非常美好.' 十二年多了,每逢佳節倍思親,但耶和華是我的牧者，我必不至缺乏。

To my dearest son(Derrick )and daughters(Denise&Angela),

In the last 12 years, I have never stop thinking about all of you.

Due to my own ignorance and oversight, I did not foresee that our family was going to break up. When you all disappeared from my life, it really broke my heart.

Holidays are times that families get together, and they are especially sad for me.

I can only look at your photos and cry, as I think about the good times that we had when you were still very young.

I always think about how Denise likes to be with me. You have your own way of thinking. You like everything neat, orderly and perfect. You helped to fold my clothes so neatly that I kept them the same way for more than 2 years. I think that you could become a very good artist or writer…

I always think about Derrick also. You are an introvert, more careful, gentle and patient. I think that you could be a very good engineer, architect or inventor…

I always think about Angela also. You are a very self-confident and determined person. You are determined to win. I think you could be a very good actor, playwright or screenwriter or a director…

As a father, it was my responsibility to be with you, to take care of you and to help and support you during these years of your growth.

It must have been very hard for you all these years. I am very sorry about that. I have been grieving and felt deep guilt that I was not able to protect you, and provide a complete home for you.

I have tried many different ways to look for you, but was unable to find you. I felt really powerless. I still hope that we would be able to reunite together soon.

As I face the realities of life in the past 12 years, my heart have been afflicted and tormented with deep feelings of shame and remorse. I can’t begin to describe the grief and anguish I have been through. I didn’t know God before.

But over these years, because of His great love, God kept sending His angels (Christians) around my life. They introduced and led me to know Jesus in a personal way. I began to experience God’s presence in my life all the time. It’s exactly as the Bible says, “Even when I walk through the darkest valley (in the shadow of death), I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me.” God’s comfort and protection is what enables me to keep going in the darkest hours. He restores my soul, and He gave me the courage and the strength to face everything in life.

It certainly is my wish to get together with all of you again as soon as possible, and that I can make every effort to express my love, care and support for you.

At the same time, knowing God in a personal way is so precious to me that I really want to lead you to know Him also as soon as possible.

The most important thing I pray about is for you to receive the greatest gift God wants to give you – His great and marvelous love! Jesus Christ, God’s Son, came into this world to save us by dying for our sins on the cross. On the third day, He rose again from the dead to prove that He is truly the Lord of life, who has the power to give eternal life to everyone who believes in Him.

You can truly experience God’s grace and God’s love and goodness in your life by trusting Jesus as your Savior and Lord. Placing your faith in Jesus is the most important decision in your life. This is why I have eagerly and urgently sought the support of Christians everywhere to pray for you also.

May God bless you greatly!

I will love you always,

Dad (Derek)
