Aang, the Avatar and Ashley, my Avatar

Dearest Ashley,

Thanks to you again, I fell in love with Aang, the Avatar. I must say this is the best cartoon series in the whole universe. We shared the exciting journey with Aang to master the four elements. Beisdes the awesome earth, water, air and fire bending, we learned about friendship vs. betrayal, honour vs. shame, love vs. hatred, peace vs. war, sacrifice vs. selfishness and the list goes on. The most memorable part for Mum was when Uncle Iroh asked Zuko,

"Who are you? What do you really want?"

That set Zuko thinking.

Previously, he gunned Avatar down for years just to please his Father, as he knew the only way for his Father to love and accept him was to capture Avatar. After going through many life turning moments like the one he was saved by Avatar in the snow, he realised that his Father was an evil leader who wanted to conquer the world and ruled all nations by fear. He stood up against his Father and left to join Avatar. I applaud him for having the courage to being true to himself.

On a lighter note, I also admired Avatar for being true to himself when he confessed his love for Karata and kissed her before the invasion. Remember the invisible red string in Ocean's song this morning? It goes like this,

"No matter where we are, we're tied and connected by this red string. It will bring us to our garden of love."

Mummy sees alot of similarities between you and Aang. Like Aang, your heart is filled with love; love for your family, friends and pets. Your cartwheel and wushu moves are as great as Aang. You're my Avatar, so kind and courageous, so funny and happy.

I can't wait to watch the Avatar 3D movie with you, Abby and Daddy next week!

Here's the second dose of words of wisdom for today:

"Do good and leave behind a virtue that the storm of time can never destroy." ~ Robin Sharma, author of No. 1 International Bestseller

Yours,
Mummy from the Love Nation
