My box of wishes
I dumped all the wishes out of my prayer box the other day in a fit of something. And now my Chinese friends have filled the box with wishes for me – all written in Chinese characters.
One of these has now become my sister at large – I text her after she left Shanghai for the states for a man, with only these wishes, “stay single, my friend,” – she wrote back, “I will, I’ll wait to have a joint small ceremony with you.”
