And my answer is children.
My children and your children.
Today we were given drink boxes, fruit bars and cookies at a conference downtown and Chloe’s first thought was of finding someone needing food and handing them out.
Chloe never walks past with her eyes cast down. She sees and touches and does her best. No one is invisible to her. No one is on the fringe.
The world will move forward with people like her in it. She and her generation will go far to eradicate racism, homophobia, hatred and fear and live responsibly as stewards and not lords of the earth.
And, if Chloe has anything to say about it, no one will ever eat shark fin soup with a clear conscious knowing they did their part in the mutilation and drowning of helpless animals.
That’s forward to me. You go girl!

wow. great set of pictures
another post and photos that are full of emotion. I can feel it through your words and pics. Yes, Asians are used to drinking shark fin soups but nowadays they use something else to make ‘shark fin soups’ to replace the real one. I dont understand either why people drink that. Japanese people eat whales.
It’s so true Felicity. Here, in Vancouver, these discussions are very media driven, and as C is studying media and in 3rd year CMNS, she is very aware. I’m glad there is such a strong media push for awareness of these things and I’m glad people take notice.
Thank you Chris, thanks for stopping by.
What a wonderful, compassionate daughter you’ve raised. I hope my own will grow up to be as tolerant and thoughtful of others. Well done, you.
Gives me hope and takes away some of the sadness of it all. C sounds beautiful on the inside and I know she is on the outside. Have a pleasant evening.
Oh good Sabra, I’m so glad. We’ve got to keep our eye on that girl. I think she’ll rock.
Oh Becca, they have the most wonderful mother! For sure they will!
Go Chloe! ! And congratulations Veronica for giving her the great example and support to feel strong to go forward:-)
Thank you Sara. I hope I do.
