Just to explain, since so many people asked yesterday: Kevin and I discussed the China trip about a month ago, discussing whether he should travel with me (work concerns), whether Frannie should travel with me, should I go solo, should I take a friend, etc. We decided that Frannie, more than anyone, needs to bond with Gracie, she needs to see her grieve, she needs to help comfort her and help her assimilate. I don't think I could spend two weeks without her anyway. Kevin's work is so busy right now that giving up two weeks' worth of income would be too much. So we prayed and discussed who would be willing and able to join me -- Nancy agreed right away so here we go, off to China for the "Girls Gone Wild in Guangzhou" trip.
