You're special, too.

.
Hey man,
.
There aren't alot of kids like you, because you've lived on TWO continents.  When we lived in Latvia, we lived in Europe.
.

When you were born, and now that you live in Mechanicsville, you are in North America.

.

Europe is west of Asia and north of Africa.  Latvia is pretty far north in Europe, but Russia is the easternmost country in Europe.
.
Russia is a special country, because it is on TWO continents.  Part of Russia is in Europe and part of Russia is in Asia.
.
Can you find Latvia on this map?  Can you find Italy?  Some people say it looks like a leg, or a boot.
.
Love you like a map of my heart,
Dad
