A Grandfather's Legacy

Tomorrow we plan to have friends and family gather for a going-away party for our daughter, Ruhiyyih. She was a teacher in China for a year, teaching English, and now she will train the teachers. George's Dad studied China most of his life, and had a pen-pal for many years there before it opened to the West. Most of the walls of his study were covered with books, and when he was in his 70's, he went to China for the first time. When he passed away, his collection was sold, and his love for China was passed on to all his grandchildren. Both of my daughters have traveled there, and, the key to my front door has been placed under a rock in a beautiful forest there...off the trail, high up in the mountains. Ruhiyyih says she will take me there one day...
