Just called laihiu a moment ago and she is about to get her ear piercing. I have been quite unsupportive of her decision, asking her to think thrice everytime the topic came into our discussion. Not that she will not look good with earrings–in fact, the opposite–but I do not want her doing this for me, as if I desire such from her. No I don’t; I delight at her current beauty in every way.

You must have come back from the operation (if that is to be called one) when you read this. I just want to tell you that I love you, my dear.
