Day 7- Nanning

I'm going to do this post fast since I want to get to bed. Today was a difficult day. Channing woke up grieving and it lasted pretty much all day. We went to the famous People's Park and then shopping for bit. Was excellent shopping, but because of Channing's mood I wasnt able to focus on the shopping.

After shopping we came back to the hotel. My parents went for a sleep and Channing and I headed out for a big, long walk. We were dripping wet when we returned due to the humidity and heat. So we headed right for the pool.

Even thought Channing is grieving today we had a few good spurts. She looked at me today and said " I love you Mama" (which melted my heart) and I even got some kisses. She also told my parents she loved them. She also said some English words today: Thank you, bye bye, David, Channing, and happy.

Talked with Yulin tonight again. Her first words to me when she called was " I hear it wasnt a good day". My guide must've told her that. Anyways, Yulin said my guide told her that Channing was in foster care all the time. Which wasnt what we were told. We were told that she was in the orphanage mon thru friday to go to school and then her foster mom picked her up on fridays and took her home for the weekend. So Yulin thinks that may be true because of the way she is acting. She assured me this is good. Since she is grieving hard that means she was well loved and that she loved someone. It will get better, it will get better!!!! Hopefully Yulin will call and get some answers from the orphanage director tomorrow.

Well off to bed I'm going. Enjoy the pictures and tomorrow hopefully I will have more energy to type.
