Happy Birthday to Mee~ Someone's sixteen now....
[[Evening of the 27th, 2007, at the Great Hall for Dinner, almost everyone has had their dinner and has been beginning to file out of there. Lee is looking at two, unopened gifts in front of him on the table, one from Gai, one from Tenten -and he is stalling on opening them without them being in his presence....Even Maito-kun brought him a gift - this morning, the squirrel dragged in a trick birthday card this morning which exploded in his face upon opening it, with a sparkly messae - "Happy Birthday, Old Fart!"]]
I wonder where Gai-sensei is...I need to thank him for this gift! Funny how Gai-sensei and Tenten remembers my birthday when I did not...^^;
[[Just then, a dirty, brown owl with matted feathers flies into the Great Hall with a large, brown envelope addressed to Lee. Utterly surprised, he carefully tears open the package, and the first thing he sees as he unfolds the letter are two pictures - One of a woman, roughly in her late 20's or early 30's, with large, expressive eyes, long hair pulled back into a ponytail, and a striped sweater. She is pretty, but her weary smile suggests that she has had the weight of the world put on her shoulders. In her arms, biting upon a little monkey toy, is a little boy, facing the camera confusedly with two, large round eyes, and his hair in a long braid.
The next picture is that same boy, seeming to be about several months older at the time, drinking from an enormous teacup....
The letter is written entirely in Chinese, and although Lee can speak Chinese fluently, he still has problems associating some of the characters to words he knows. He gets the general gist of it, however,even though he can read it in chunks....
...But he can certainly recognize the first characters that stand out at the bottom - characters for 'Love', the name, and 'Your Mother'.

Completely overwhelmed, after having no contact with his birth mother since he was 3? 4 Years old? ...He clamps his hands over his mouth, tears of utter joy running down his face as he stares at the letter on the table in disbelief.]]
