I'd like to talk to Grandpa (my father-in-law) today. I want to hear his stories of being stationed in Korea. He fought in the Korean War back in the 1950s. I'd like to ask him what he thinks of the current situation between North Korea and South Korea.
Instead, I send text messages to my son, Christopher. Even though he is not fluent in the language, I ask what news he is hearing, since he lives in the heart of Seoul. I think about how he taught his students about of the Korean War. He shared with them that his grandpa fought in this war. His students were wide-eyed and astonished that their teacher's own grandfather had stood up for their country. You can read the story here.
Feeling rather melancholy today. Missing so much family.
Here are the only 2 pictures I have of Thanksgiving:

God bless our vets. It's sad that the situation is escalating there again. Sigh.
