Wish #26



This was a great squish to find in our mailbox. The Dinkins have been special to us for quite some time. They are a large part of why the United States Air Force is a good place to be. We met them in Oklahoma when we were stationed at Tinker AFB and Tony experienced some of his most rewarding moments commanding with then "Colonel D" as his boss. These are true-blue folks, have supported us throughout our adoption and we are glad that they will be a permanent part of Ty's life through his quilt.

Debby picked out a beautiful red print fabric (like her new red Mini Cooper convertible) with beautiful Asain script characters on it. Their wish:

Dear Ty:
We want to welcome you as you begin your new life in the United States of America. May you always remember your native country of China, but come to love and pledge allegiance to this great country of opportunity and freedom - America!
You and your family are very fortunate to have found each other. We know your life foreer here after will be filled with happiness, security, and love.
Greatest blessings to you, your Mom and Dad, and your big sister Caitlin.

In Friendship and Love,
Rick and Debby Dinkins


This wish made us smile. The sentiments of freedom, opportunity, patriotism and security are spoke directly to our hearts and reflect what we wish for Ty ourselves. Thanks Dinkins Family!
