Happy Birthday CeCe!


I love watching humanity at its best.

My friend Holly is flying across the world later this week to pick up her daughter CeCe. CeCe is being cared for in an orphanage in a little corner of China, and is just turning a year old. She gazes, unflinching and wide-eyed in her photographs. What have her eyes seen, that she will never be able to remember, let alone share with another human being? Whatever her heritage or background, she has no idea that she's about to be embraced into a loving, generous family. Forever.

May the road rise to meet you all as you travel. And to CeCe, to the start of a wonderful new journey.
