I can only hope that some of the descriptions of family in Nicole's comments about the rural Cambodian community where she lived, are also possibly "true" in our family here in Shakespeare. that is, while we do not spend hours of most evenings chatting with our neighbours, we can still manage to have some measure of real and lasting family relationships in our crazy world. I gess the very fact that our kids want to do something like BM Asia gives me some hope that families can still strongly communicate values like compassion, genuine interest in others, and a desire to live fully and justly...even our family!!
