SuBon's Profile

In the years after Aimee was no longer a baby, her Omma and I would re-tell the story of her disappearance from her grandfather's house in ChunCheon, Korea. I'm sure that the re-telling was full of smiles and the humor of the happy ending, but it was not a happy event when it happened at all. We all were upset when she simply vanished from her grandfather's gated house. First the iron gate was closed, and we did not think she could open it. Second, no one had seen her for nearly a half an hour. That was scarey. My father-in-law's house was quite large, and we were desperately searching every room and corner. Suddenly, grandfather came back in the gate holding Aimee's hand. Somehow he had put himself into her mind and knew that she had walked alone to the playground. It was not nearby at all. We were relieved and amazed that she had opened the gate and closed it behind her and gone so far all by herself. She was 3 years old, and fully 2 years younger than Maxmilien is now.

I'm behind you, Aimee. Go for it. You have wonderful, thick, hair with a very pretty natural color. 34, Pffft. That's young! Grow you hair and style it like a teenager. I, for one, will love it!

I'm with you, Aimee. I feel 2011 is going to be a good year to embrace change and make myself stronger and healthier, too. I'm so proud of you and my grandkids. ~Ah-ppa

I agree with ellen. Max will be fine. As I recall, he spent 24 hours with me when you visited in August. I'm sure he missed you for (at least) 30 minutes. :) He will be your little helper, so be sure to let him help. He's amazing in all the big boy things he can do, and he will feel gratified by you asking him to help. It worked well for you when Elizabeth came along. Back in 1979, you weren't really allowed in the hospital, either. He will know you and Julien love him. Ah-ppa

My thoughts turned there today also. It was four years ago today, Aimee, that I last saw your Omma. About this time in the evening, when she kissed me and sent me home to get a good night's sleep. It was in the early morning hours of November 12th, when I got that phone call. I miss her still. But I love your blog and the life you share today. Ah-ppa

Sorry to say it, but I still can't discern what it is I'm looking at.... even after you have described it for me. :(

Well, I haven't fired up the AC at the house, yet. The compressor is still cover with its winter tarp. So if you really want, I could just leave it off. I think Harrison would retreat tot he basement for the duration though. :)

Well, I am traveling to North Carolina this month, and Korea in July. I am going to take the recommended precautions. Keep my face out of other people's faces. Cover my mouth when I cough. Wash my hands frequently. Avoid touching my hands to my mouth, nose and eyes. Watch closely for any symptoms and take action the moment I feel out of sorts at all. I hope to you all here in August. Love, Ah-ppa
