A letter to Isabeau: Media interviews

Dear baby girl,

Last month (September) had been really crazy for all of us.  As you know, we did the Heart Walk by AHA this year (2012). [If you remember it].  :)  American Heart Association invited us to spread the words by using your amazing story. Daddy and I agreed to do so even tho we were super busy. We both think it's time to do what and why you are here for.

We had to go back to all the pictures of you when you were really little, when you were in the hospital with your chest open. you messed up feets due to all the poking, tubes sticking out from your body and those EKG wires attached to your body.  WOW, painful.. really painful to even look at it. I have no idea how many nights I cried myself to sleep but it was all worth. Because we get to help people , some of us need to be braved, need to get up to tell the stories.

You will be surprised how much a story like yours would be able to help others. To comfort them, to give them hope, to tell them everything will be ok and to tell them giving up is NOT an option.  Most importantly is to show them never ask why it happened but instead to face it, and to do what needs to be done.

So, we got total of 4 interviews and a speech at toyota charity campaign which was to encourage to help others. The 4 interviews were included LA-18 interviewed by Juliette Zhuo, KTLA 5 by Lu Parker(Miss USA 1994), NDT-TV by Mandy Huang and XXXX ( still trying to find out who I talked to at the Heart walk) .. Yea.. funny huh?!

I think the interviews went ok. They had to summarize your stories into 3-5 mins time. They did a good job in sending out the important message.  I also glad to see you had fun with Lu Parker, you guys played princess tea party for a while then balls all over your room. Seeing you jumping up and down ensured me that we were doing the right thing to let you go public.

Here were the schedules of when the media aired your story:

1) LA-18: Sept 24, 2012  |  5:30pm

2) KTLA 5 : Sept 28, 2012 | 9:00am & 6:00pm

One last thing is there was a line I loved by KTLA5 is "This little girl teaches the world scars are beautiful." One day you will question why these scars, you might mind, you might hate it but little girl.. this scars are  you and because of these scars, you helped thousand and thousand of people you didn't even know.And that scars of yours has many many stories to tell. So be PROUD of yourself.. you are BEAUTIFUL in every way just like your mother. LOL!!!

Love you always, Your Mama.

Do you know Tooth Fairy has a name?

September 28,2012

Izzyboo lose her first tooth today.  Craig told her the tooth fairy's story, told her to look for money underneath her pillow when she woke up in the morning.

She interrupted , then asked," What's tooth fairy's name?"

I overheard her from my home office, I yelled out with a laugh, "It's Tooth's fairy, Izzybooboo!"

"NO, she has a name.  All fairies have name." She said it out loud then continued, "Just like the winter fairy's name is Perry winkler, the garden's fairy's name is Rosetta, the light fairy's name is iridessa..."

"So, what do you think Tooth Fairy's name is?" Craig intterupted her.

" emmm..emmm..emm.. I think the tooth fairy's name is Olivia!" she smiled really really big.

I was like dang, I worked for Disney for so long and I didn't even know all those disney fairies has their  own power.

So guys, the Tooth Fairy's name is OLIVIA.  :)
