Dear Grandpa:

I'm so glad that you're finally comingin three days! It was Christmas yesterday. We put up a beautiful Christmas tree in the living room. I'm sure you'll like it when you see it.

Lily and I drove two hours to Chinatown in New York City yesterday. We bought a lot of Chinese food there. Mom said you would bring us more snacks from Taiwan. I just can't wait!

All of us will go and pick you up at the airport except Dad. He has to see one of his teachers from high school that day, but he will come back and take us to a big dinner in the evening.

During your two-week stay, we are going to take you to England for one week. I've never been there, either. But I'm sure we're going to have fun in this trip.

Marie Colvin was a world-famous war reporter. She was born in New York, USA, in 1956 and died in Homs, Syria, in 2012.

When she was a student at Yale University, Colvin decided that she wanted to be a reporter in the future. She joined the Sunday Times, a UK newspaper, in 1985 and soon became its Middle East reporter. Besides the Middle East, she also reported from other parts of the world: Chechnya, Kosovo and Sri Lanka, for example. When she was reporting on the war in Sri Lanka, she lost her left eye. But that never stopped her. She still went to dangerous places that few reporters wanted to visit and stayed when others left.

Colvin showed great empathy in her stories. For her, war reporting was not just some quick interviews and a few photos. She wrote about real people and their real lives. Her writing made you feel so strongly about these people’s stories, just like they were your own. She hoped that through her work the world would understand what really happened in war, and would take action to stop the fighting.

On February 22, 2012, the day after she gave her report on the war in Homs, Colvin was killed when the house she was staying in was attacked. She always knew what price a war reporter might have to pay. She already lost an eye before. This time, she gave her life to the work she could not give uptelling the true stories to the world.
