In my travels throughout the globe, I carry an Ernie doll with me. Ernie has been on many continents and it is a way of communicating with my granddaughter, Gracie, who has one also, that I gave her when she was under a year old. She is now 7. I have brought many smiles to people carrying Ernie. Here, as everywhere I've ever been, even in this part of the war zone, Ernie brings relief to children.
