My mom is sending you a New Year’s message from Laos. She is ubiquitous. She is always out of the home, working abroad as a global mother. In 2014, she may show up in your country! If you see her in your country, say, “Let’s BEAR!” to her, instead of “hello.”

I am sending you a New Year’s message from Japan, sitting alone without my mom. Do you think that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan will issue a passport and visa for me? Going abroad with my mom is my big dream. I hope that my dream will come true in 2014. Ha, ha, ha!

Anyway, my mom and I wish you a “beary” Happy New Year for 2014. Be Empowered with Available Resources! Let’s BEAR!
