  urlLink Julie Leung: Seedlings & Sprouts : "Looking around our living room last night was a new sensation for me. Our two families are very different and they probably would not have met each other, if they hadn't each believed in education and helped send their kids (Ted and me, respectively) to (the same) university.
Yet the fact that Ted and I loved each other brought them together. They first met when we were getting married. Twelve years later we two are more in love and have given our parents three grandchildren. I looked at our girls, their granddaughters, and realized that Ted and I have permanently connected our two families.
There are now three people in the world whose blood and flesh trace back through these two separate heritages. Our girls are the glue between them forever. To think how the choice of two twentysomethings to love each other for life could bond two families together across continent and cultures...Last night while looking around our living room, I saw this truth literally embodied in the people present: three of the grandparents who gave us life, and their three grandchildren, who came from Ted and me.
