The importance of being Nathaniel's nana

This beautiful child (the one on the right) is my grandson Nathaniel HyeongWoo Perry. (The beautiful child on the left is my daughter Kendra.) Kendra and Jay brought Nathaniel home from Korea a week ago.

Fear not that I will regale you overmuch with baby stories - I have no need, as this child is supported by a full geek squad and has a blog of his own that's far more interesting than mine. He has a photo stream and video conferencing. He has computerized diaper telemetry. He's a tiny Truman Show, but way cuter.

May we realize how urgent it is that we inhabit a world where no child is unwanted and no child is harmed and no child is hungry. That these are not global abstractions to the child who is friendless and the child who is broken and the child who has no food.

May we be fortunate enough to be loved. May we be wise enough to recognize it. And may all our hearts together make us a family.
