As the anniversary of the horrific earthquake in Sichuan Province, China nears, the media carry stories about the unbelievable grief and anguish survivors bear as they try to face a future without their loved ones. Two of my grandchildren come from China. I'm working at being the best Chinese grandmother that I can...and my heart breaks for the parents and grandparents of those thousands of children who were in their schools with their teachers on the day that their classroom walls came tumbling down around them.
What a beautiful piece, and such a poignant back-story. I'm sure that you're doing a great job as a grandmother. You certainly have the love for the job!

This is beautiful, Diane, and a beautiful message. You speak for all of us who have grandchildren from China.
