…flowed like the Han River,
carrying our sorrow to mingle with your body in the earth,
as our love joined the light of your spirit in the skies.

We remember… Julia Ji-Hye Mendelson.
If you have a moment, take a look at some of the outpouring of emotions that followed Julia’s passing one year ago today, on May 31 2008.
We miss you, Julia 지혜.

I’ve been thinking about her so much in the past few months. It still hurts so bad. I still hear her voice and I wish my stupid phone wouldn’t have deleted her voice mails without me knowing. Not sure why I’m writing this here. I guess I know you’ll always listen.

I still think of Julia so often.
This is a touching reminder of a sad anniversary. Thank you for it.

Sung-Kyun — I thought about you when I was writing this. And I’m always devastated when fragments like emails or voice mails get deleted, because I’m so afraid that I’ll lose my memories, too. But your memories will always be with you.
Coco — You’re welcome.

I’m still thinking about her, too. Especially since it was she who encouraged us to adopt once more- saying she enjoyed having a sibling, rahter than travel her journey alone. I hope the same proves true for my sons.
She was always loving- despite everything.
