APPENDIX：Following was a letter from Sophia when she delivered three bags above mentioned to us.

親愛的爸爸媽媽：
 
沒想到你們那麼快就收到包裹了
希望你們會喜歡我的作品囉
我有這樣的小小成就還是要歸功於你們
再次感謝你們這麼願意在我們身上花大把大把的鈔票
這些在國外的經驗 學習與成長都是很多小孩想要卻要不到的
我和哥哥真的很幸運! 所以我們真的都非常珍惜和感恩
謝謝你們 我們也會繼續努力加油找工作 要對我們有信心喔
爸爸媽媽你們也要互相體貼 這樣辛苦的工作之下就不會覺得累了
也不要給自己太大的壓力 常常真的退一步就海闊天空了
我們四個人雖然沒有辦法在一起 但是心靈能緊靠在一起才是最重要的
願神能祝福我們全家!
