They entered the same orphanage in 1933, once they turned 16 and 17 they ran off and got married. There are so many sad stories from that era.<BR/>I am sure Ginny wil not soon forget your generosity and the love you bestowed upon her.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15082704384557738630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9093610275832874420.post-4808358486393917022009-01-11T10:49:00.000-05:002009-01-11T10:49:00.000-05:00What a sad, yet sweet and touching story.

As I read the story I just knew Theresa would do something about the birthday party problem... As you may know, my kids are all from orphanages and they never had birthdays or clothes or anything. My beautiful son Luke said the most touching thing when I asked him if anyone had ever loved him back in China. He said, "Yes mom, you did." It is surely a sad start to life, but look what Ginny has done! She has filled her life with purpose and love and wonderful friends who give her great memories.jacklynn4https://www.blogger.com/profile/07183194294955824910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9093610275832874420.post-84204104968782133342009-01-06T21:02:00.000-05:002009-01-06T21:02:00.000-05:00Theresa, that is the sweetest story, the birthday ...Theresa, that is the sweetest story, the birthday part.
