Timothy, a lively 7-year-old, is part of a remarkable family. Their mother is a Jewish American geriatric physician, while their father is a Catholic Chinese (Hong Kong)-born real estate entrepreneur. The parents' story began at a school in Stamford, California. Presently, they divide their time between residences in New York City and Old Greenwich, Connecticut.

The family shares a strong bond, frequently embarking on life adventures together, such as their recent trip to Yellowstone National Park. They also enjoy collaborating on art projects as a family unit. During my visit, I noticed guitars of various sizes for each child, with their mother actively participating in music lessons alongside them.

I was deeply impressed by the direct and heartfelt way in which each child expressed their love for their siblings and family, as well as their pride in their mixed heritage, both spiritually and ethnically. Upon meeting them at their home in Old Greenwich, they eagerly lined up at the door, their faces adorned with broad smiles of joy, eager to be part of the project.

Unfortunately, upon my arrival, I encountered a setback when my camera, typically used for capturing memories and videos, malfunctioned. However, Theo, quick on his feet, promptly located another camera, ensuring that I could continue documenting our time together. He even provided mechanical assistance to facilitate my work. I was deeply appreciative of his help, as were the entire family, all of whom were eager participants in the project.
