John's arrival

Today is the day John and his family moving to Vancouver finally. I was very happy to know that they are coming but I also have been stressed over the whole thing. What if they don't like here? What if what have prepared isn't good enough? What if? What if? All sort of things have gone through my mind, some are good, some terrifies me. Even on the way to airport, I was still a bit worried. I even brought a book to calm my mind. I have not even get to the page, saw John and Sue pushing the carts out of the door. Yay, they are here! Hugs and greetings! We took the limo to downtown, sending John and Sue through memory lane. It was 8 years ago when they first came to Vancouver and they "accused" me who has "seduced" them to Canada. It slowly worked ways into their mind. Well, I am happy to hear that. Long slow process!

I was so released that they were not turned off by the construction and even happier to hear they shouting in excitement when they walked into the new home I prepared for them. A huge release, all my worries went out the window. They feel home here! The best thing I could ever hope for. It was way better than what I have imagined. Of course I was perinoyed (I can't spell!!). We then went out bought the beds, got John a new iphone, had dinner at Kiisu which they loved, finished off with grocery shopping at Urban Fair and came home to relax. We now retreated to our rooms and I am feeling so accomplished. John has brought something for me, he has brought me openness, totally harmonious without doubt close friendship. Home is becoming this round circle. He has brought a piece of old Shanghai I have been missing so much, my old home. What a lovely feeling! Life is soooooo good to me. I must have done something good.
