Xanthe




I love...


...her tenaciousness, her steely core, her fighting spirit, her silky-straight hair, the generations of Han in her eyes, her bronze skin, her rosy cheeks, her delightful giggle, her small fingers playing the piano, her determination, her enthusiasm for school, each small accomplishment on the road to reading, her confused look: one eye closed.  The smile that makes her eyes all but disappear, her panda blankie, the way she can organize her room like nobody's business, her love for dance, her mysterious beginnings, her unknown ancestors, her unbridled joy, her undiluted fear, her ridiculousness, the teeth that refuse to fall out, her sweet hugs, her love for cousins, her need for facts, her uncanny swimming ability, the way she skips...

...Xanthe
