Visiting the land of empathy and wonder

In December, the three of us drove to Michigan to visit some of Peter’s relatives. These were family members who I had never met, so I was nervous. Will they like me? How will they react to Philip? It turned out that I didn’t have to worry. Who knew that there was a land of empathy and wonder in the suburbs of Detroit?

I decided to share the story of our visit with Kristi of Finding Ninee. One year ago, she wrote a piece called “The Land of Empathy and Wonder.” Since that time, she has invited other bloggers to write about the place where people celebrate differences, encourage understanding, and accept everyone who is willing to play nicely. She calls it The Our Land Series.

Today, I am visiting the land of wonder and empathy. I hope you will stop by read my contribution to the series. Click here to read “Unbreakable” and to wish The Our Land Series a happy first birthday.
