» I think that most women have a love-hate relationship with the “G” word. When I first learned that I was about to become a “grandmother”, I admit that I had mixed feelings.

I did my best as a parent to limit their exposure to violence and rationed their video-game-playing time. But personally, I never took an interest.

For many Thais, it is a time to actively engage in merit-making by offering necessities to monks including candles, lanterns and lamp oil that is burned during morning and evening recitation time.
