Dear Booth,

Hello I'm here in China in a small village outside of Jiljin and its freezing. I thought it was cold in DC and in Canada when I visited there but this is much colder. I'm still indentifying warriors and have found quite a few good specimens for the Jeffersonian. You would love Danielle; she is seven and full of spunk. I think that's the word however she is very outgoing and very smart. I really enjoy her company and I've changed I don't mind being a mother. I actually have only had Dandy a few months and it seems like I've had her for a few years. I might adopt another child in a year or two because I promised Dandy when I go back to the states we will see the sights. Cam approved it can you believe it? Oh yeah I heard from Dr. Goodman, he was traveling through China with his family. Booth I'm still in love with you. I have a picture of us and Angela, Hodgins, Zach. I find my self looking at it a lot. I miss you and I hope you're good. I talk to Angela and she said you were dating a nice doctor and I hope it works out for you. Anyways I have to go.

Forever and Always

You're Temperance

Temperance smiled and looked for another entry. She found one.

Dear Booth,

I need your hugs today, Dandy is sick very sick and I am worried. I wish you were here so I can ask you all the questions I have today. I'm standing in a hospital by myself and worried about my daughter. How do you deal with everything that a parent goes through? I am considering when she gets better going to the states. It wouldn't take as long to give her treatment. Here comes the doctor I should leave. I love you Booth

Love Always

Temperance

Temperance wiped away the tears from her cheeks and turned the page. The journal had many entries like this some sad and some joyful.

Hello Booth

Today just as two days ago I need your hugs. Dandy recovered from what ever she had, she is stable. And the doctor said she can go home in a few days. However I've requested to take a month off and we are flying to Angela's summer home in Australia and she and Jack are going to meet us there. We are going to rest. I can't believe that Angela now has a summer home, I feel like my home in the states is like a summer home now because I feel so connected to this small village.

Love Always

Temperance

Booth,

Today was another hug day. The orphanage where I adopted Dandy from burnt in a fire. They were able to save many of the children however there were still ten inside. One little boy who I was quite fond of was still in there when it burned to the ground. He was about Parker's age. I was going to adopt him for a little brother for dandy. Tomorrow I have to indentify the victims including Liang this was the boy whom died. I have not been able to sleep, I feel like I let Liang or Luke down by not adopting him before the fire. But I was scared that I would not be a good parent, Dandy is much older than Liang was. Anyways I don't think I will not write for a while because I deep into my work. I love you Temperance
