The Korean I left behind in the USA

Saturday, October 3rd was my good friend Laurie Anne Fitzpatrick's big wedding day. And of all places, I was stuck here unable to attend. These are the things that kill me about being so far away. The holidays, family reunions, big birthdays, and weddings I'm giving up to be here in Korea-Town. Missing big celebrations is unfortunately not something new to me as I've lived away at college and then out of state for the past few years. But for some reason or another, missing Laurie's wedding is really hitting me hard. I know she understands, but I still hate that I missed such a milestone in her life. I'm sure there will be more special occasions I will miss down the road for one reason or another, but I truly hope I can still find a way to be there for those I love.

Congratulations Bill and Laurie. I wish you all the best!
