my umma’s first time back in 25 years 🇰🇷. the last time she was there was when we immigrated to the states. i yearned for this trip for 25 years…25 years. my mom said the city changed so much she prefers her quiet life back in michigan. she saw her brother, sister in law, and my cousins for the first time in 25 years.
we visited our old hometown and saw our old apartment complex demolished (rip), but saw my grandparents home from the outside. i remember those windows vividly.
it was Micah’s first time in Korea - he had fun! He was happy to be part of this journey with us. I love Korea and I often think about the ‘what if’ aspect of it. I can’t wrap my head around this feeling right now, but here are some videos! 💗
