There are a lot of negative things being said right now about how interconnected we all are globally, but I wanted to share a counter example. About 10 years ago, my husband worked in Shanghai for about 6 months and became friends with a Chinese woman in his office, Yuni.

My son and I went to visit and she was so incredibly helpful and nice. We haven't really been in touch, but this morning he opened his email and found a message from her. She is in Beijing and she has been following the situation in New York.

She wanted to know if we needed masks and gloves. They have extra now that the crisis in China has ebbed. She will send them to us immediately, she said. Now I am crying. #WeAreAllInThisTogether
