Your writing is incredible, as is your family. I’m home in bed sick today, and all I want to do is just devour your posts. Thank you for sharing them and for letting us in to your life.

Absolutely include this! It speaks to the courage and vulnerability of being a hardworking immigrant in a dangerous part of town. Maybe it’s because I have a dear Korean friend, or that I adore the Canadian show Kim’s Convenience about a Korean store, but I just wanna hug you and your dad!

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for your kind words Cherilyn! It's so funny because people have often asked me if my dad's store was anything like Kim's Convenience. I tell them, no, it was like the complete opposite of Kim's!

Well a TV Show is quite different from real life! And I apologize if in any way it seemed I was stereo typing your family.

Peace and freedom!

That is very true. And I didn't feel like you were stereotyping.
