Timothy, senior year — and somehow you’re still my favorite part of every day.
你是我最喜欢的人。圣诞快乐，宝贝。
“It’s been months, and somehow it still feels like we’re in the best part of the beginning.”
“I’m a senior. You’re a junior at Hopkins. We’re busy… but we still choose each other.”
“Different campuses, different chapters — same story: us, figuring it out together.”
The kind of memories that glow brighter than any Christmas light.
I know school can be a lot — classes, meetings, deadlines — and you still show up with that steady, brave heart. I know you are having the busiest semester ever, and stressed about your job search. But I know you can do it. You are so smart and so talented. I know you will find everything you want.
Even when we’re on different schedules, I’m always cheering for you; I know you can do it. I love you so much.
你真的很棒。别忘了你有多聪明、多美、多厉害。

Next Chapter
This Christmas, I don’t want anything fancy. I just want to think of us.
I love how you’re there for me, especially when I’m sad or stressed. When my brain is loud, you make it soft again — the way you listen, the way you hold me, the way you remind me I’m not alone. I still think about you giving me a massage on the bed, and how safe it feels to fall asleep hugging you. Nora, you’re my comfort, my peace, my home.
And I want to protect you more, too — especially after the hard moments. When you were in the hospital, when your eye hurt so much, and when you were traveling back and forth to Hong Kong for interviews, I felt both proud of you and worried for you at the same time. I’m right here — always on your team, always in your corner. 我一直都在。以后也一直在。
Forever yours,
Timothy
Thank you for being my favorite person — this season, and every one after.
我们还有很多很多个圣诞节。✨
