Package On It's Way

Brian here

We received an email from Ann in China that Jonah will be getting his care package from us in 2 days...That would be Thursday the 24th......OK, I'll take that. With every great success their are always mild disappointments. Ultraman will not make an appearance at the Longgang Model Family Foster Home. The versions in the store currently were deemed "too low quality" to warrant their purchase. Instead, the worlds greatest standby present for any boy.........drum roll please.........A TANK......good alternate choice. The next best thing to fantasy role play with some form of superhero is to fantasy role play with some form .....any form of militaria....Tanks, planes, cars, trucks, little green soldier men.....even anything that can be held in the hand as a gun, sword or other weapon of mass destruction.

Anyway, Ultraman was not the purpose of the package in the first place. Contact........that is the ultimate purpose, even if the contact goes through an intermediary. Jonah needs to know, we are coming, we have not forgotten him and we are working as hard as possible to bring him home. All the other silly things, the toys and comic books, are window dressing for the big picture. My hope is that as he receives these and things he will have some idea of how much we already think of and care for him. That he is not alone. That he will have a family that loves him. Hopefully, these little tokens of fun will help to remind him......We are coming.
