 "Words are the source of misunderstandings...," said the fox. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
~ The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
"Le langage est source de malentendus...," dit le renard. "On ne voit qu'avec le coeur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
~ Le Petit Prince par Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
 May your holiday season be filled with love, joy and peace!
 My Grandmother passed away on November 14 at the age of 87. She led a life full of silent endurance of suffering, having lived her youth as a "sold bride" in rural China, through the Japanese occupation during her first pregnancy, and the Great Famine under Mao's rule during the 60s. Grandma bore witness to the suffering of the entire nation in transition to modernity and the drastic changes in the Chinese society and culture. Through this all, as well as her chronic illnesses and her being a widow for more than 40 years, she persevered and lived her life in a quiet, humble manner. I will never forget the unconditional love she gave her grandchildren.
