He gave an example: Archbishop Tutu often had
insomnia, and when he had a hard time sleeping, he
would think about all the other people around the
world who were also unable to sleep, and send love
and blessings to them. And in this way, he felt connected to their common humanity.
A grandfather's inspiring words
Archbishop Tutu and his wife Leah have four children together, Trevor, Theresa, Naomi and Mpho.
Although he has a loving relationship with his family,
Doug says it was very hard for his children growing up, because Tutu was traveling so much for the
anti-apartheid movement. "They had to share their
father with the world," he says. The Archbishop told
him the story about returning from England to South
Africa, where they were second-class citizens and
couldn't give their children a good education. So
they had to send their kids to a boarding school in
Swaziland and, as a result, break up the family again.
"

of injustice, you have chosen

"
The Tutus have many grandchildren and are doting
grandparents. The grandchildren, now grown, seem to
be following in their grandfather's activist footsteps.
