I miss her every day. Our home is not the same without her. Hug your mama. Savor every moment.

My literal “mother” language has disappeared forever.

Sure, I can speak her broken English to friends & family when quoting her, but none of them understand Korean, so half of the language is missing even when I do speak it to someone.

This has made me weep more than anything else.

I lost my mom on Friday. So far, the hardest part of losing her is that the language I used my entire life to speak w/ her (what I call “Kenglish”—a mixture of Korean & broken English) will never be necessary for me to use again. I will never hear it spoken again.

It’s not our anniversary, but this man has been my rock through this season of life and I’m just so grateful for him. His unwavering support through this end-of-life care of my mom means so much to me. I am so glad to have this man by my side.

I watched it for the first time last year!

Every year, we allowed our son to open his stocking no matter what time he woke up on Christmas Day, even if we were asleep. This was so we could sleep in. I love that my now 18 yr old, still gets excited and comes down at midnight to get his stocking.

Please make it make sense. I live in Atlanta for crying out loud.

Ok. But which song are you listening to? We want to know!😁

Beautiful!

If you haven’t read this book, you should.

Tonight, as I ran my fingers through my mom’s hair, she said to me, “I want to fast-uh go Jesus.”

It completely broke my heart, and at the same time, I totally understood. *sigh*

I bought this t-shirt for my husband and son and I can’t wait to give it to them. Hahaha!

We have family in town & I’m trying to be creative w/ dinners. This week, I outdid myself. Spaghetti, crab cake sandwiches & fries, Asian orange trout w/ royal rice & broccoli, Swedish meatballs & mashed potatoes, & tonight: ribs w/ Mac & cheese & veggies. Y’all, I never cook like this. Send ideas!

I’m pretty sure Jesus would be turning tables over.

This holiday is the first without my mother-in-law and is the last with my mother. It is a strange strange, feeling trying to soak up every moment, but it’s hard to feel the holiday spirit.

I know it’s been a few years since they’ve cancelled the show, but I miss Santa Clarita Diet.

Sheila & Joel (Drew Barrymore & Tim Olyphant) were brilliant together.

They weren’t given a proper finale season. It just didn’t. come. back.

I wish Netflix would finish the storyline. We deserve it.

So cute and plump! 💙

Phineas & Ferb saved my sanity when my toddler went through the “let’s watch the same show all day long” phase. Best kid show ever.

Tonight was Asian Orange Broiled Trout with Royal Blend Rice and Broccoli, but don’t expect fancy dinners like this every night. It’s a once in a great while thing.

Having family in town is making me have to up my game and it’s crazy hard. Send ideas! Or better yet, send help!
