........we walked into the Civil Affairs office in Nanchang and were presented with a very scared (and loud) little girl who couldn't smile. Walking unsteadily, with a frown seemingly frozen on her face, she eyed us with suspicion wondering "who are these people?". She didn't speak or smile for a week, didn't laugh for two, but instead, watched us and world intently as it unfolded before her, each new sight mesmerizing.
Today, she runs. And smiles. And laughs the best laugh in the world. And speaks. And dances. And kisses the dog. And kisses us. And climbs. And eats pizza. And ice cream. And wears her father's underwear.
She is happy. We are happy.
Life is good.
