A letter to parents

Dear Mom & Dad:

How have you been recently?

I’m pretty good actually although school is busy! 

I just want to let you know that I got a boyfriend recently. I knew that you will feel a little bit weird that I tell you this because I usually will not tell you something about my relationship status. Therefore, the main reason that I want to tell you is that he is not Taiwanese, Chinese, or even Asian; oppositely, he is American. He also studies at the same university as me. In fact, we have been dating for a period of time, and we talk about getting married recently. I understand that you feel shocked, worried, and a little bit angry maybe. You may think that we come from two totally different cultures which will cause lots of problems to our marriage in the future, one of which is opinions of his parents, and I may not intend to go back to home after graduating. I concede that different backgrounds definitely make us have some disagreements of certain perspectives, but he has a very good temper and is always willing to communicate with me whenever we disagree with each other. Also, his parents don’t live in California; if we got married, we would not live together with his parents. The bright side is I can find job here; we all know that the working environment here is better than that in hometown.  I am really used to living in the US.  Now my English ability improves a lot because we need to communicate in English.  I take marriage seriously, so I will meditate on getting married with him thoroughly. Therefore, you don’t need to worry about me.   

Miss you.

 

Cindy
