M and her Great-Grandfather or Granddaddy as we say in the south.

I love this picture. New and "old" coming together. 

M visited her 90 yr old great-grandfather this weekend.  They met for the first time last week at his nursing home.  My aunts tell me that he asks about her every day.  My grandfather was a marine stationed in China during the Korean war.  He says that he was stationed 20 miles from Nanchang which is where M and I first met.  I'm not so sure the location is correct but he loves talking about China.  He asked me if there were still camels all over the city.  I thought he was having a "moment" but apparently there were loads of camels used for transportation back in the day.  I so enjoy learning new things from him and hearing stories about his life.  He would never before speak of WW2 or Korea but little M has worked her magic.  He's putty in her little hands.
