This weekend started off with a dinner party. We had Shuang, Betty, and Sela over for dinner on Friday night. Shuang is a student at the University of Evansville. She has agreed to come over once a week or so to help ease Bridget's transition to life in the USA and to help her in communicating with us. We had a nice dinner and Bridget even cooked the vegatables. Bridget grieves for many things. Friends, Foods, Language, School and culture are all very different from a month ago. Sometimes she handles it well, while other times she pulls back and doesn't want to do much of anything. We are really glad that Shuang has agreed to help her a bit. Betty and Sela's support was really nice to have as well (Plus, Betty brought Brownies and Betty knows chocholate very well).

| Here, Lorna wonders what it is she will be eating while Bridget prepares some unidentifyable vegatables. |

| I think Bridget likes what she is hearing. |

Bridget and Shuang talk about life in Mandarin Chinese while Marlee observes and wishes she knew what they were saying.

Yes, it's a healthy normal thing for her to grieve. So glad she could someone from the outside to talk with. It's a long process. Hang-in-there!
Lorna & Lou,
I'm sure this is a good step. Hang in there!
Love,
Mom
