An International Upbringing

This week in school, Lilly's class celebrated both Rosh Hashanah and Eid. At her birthday party, each family came from a different country. Canada, Pakistan, Israel and Austria were all represented inside our Chinese hotel room. I am only just beginning to meet Americans; so far I have gotten to know Scottish, German and British families as well as those attending Lilly's birthday party.

The instability inherent in this life may not be good for kids, but the diversity they see as normal is truly exciting.
