Dear Florence (Firenze) Italy,

Here comes my wonderful daughter. You will probably know her as “Meigi” and I hope you love her as much as she’s going to love you! Did you know, her [great] grandmother’s name was Florence, so I’m sure there is already a spiritual bond between the two of you. I think she’s going to feel like she’s coming home and will never be quite the same person after meeting you and coming to know you. I hope that you will have a beautiful time together for these next three months.

Take good care of her for me!
