The Unkindest Cut of All

I am back in Beijing; my sorrowful task in Mississippi is done. The living nightmare continues, though. Even in death, from the grave itself, the Bosco family still claws, rips, and eats its own. My soul, that deepest best part of me to which I am always true, the very part that what is left of the Bosco family says I do not possess, indeed have never possessed, was cast forever adrift this past week in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, with no safe harbor to which it may return.

Although frightened, anxious, abandoned, I know my soul will weather whatever lies before it. Because if home is where the heart resides, then that which heals even broken, homeless souls is stronger, safer than ever; I am home. I am in China. I am in Beijing. Most importantly, my heart is at home in the heart of another and she is here.

Sir,

There are some who believe you to be a bit of a ???. Sometimes, I would agree with them, as Chinese value the notion of ??.

But you have had a hard year, sir, and need support. I am sure that I am not the only one who would like to provide that help with warm wishes and kind regards. I offer these now and hope that days to come are much better for you and for all of your family and others.

The words I was used were zu?b?shi and then I was using qi?nxùn.

I am surprised to find that this blog does not allow me to use Chinese characters.

My sense still stands.
