Right now, I’m coming to you from Hawaii, one of the most beautiful places on earth. But for all the beauty around me, I can’t seem to stop taking pictures of my granddaughter who’s here with me. The scenery just can’t compare to this human being, this child, who didn’t do anything to earn respect and love—she just IS.
