Thank You

I am thankful for the love and passion my parents instilled in me.

I realized this the day I lost my mother and I got another rush of emotions when my dad boarded that one-way-ticket plane to Korea. I suddenly realized that I am a blessed son. No matter what I had done or achieved had mattered. I keep pushing myself everyday because of their love and trust in me.

My losses were not set backs, they were disguised gifts of realization. The thankful realization that my parents came to America to make me the best person I could be and to keep their love and passion for me alive. They would not want it any other way. They just want me to keep fighting. No matter what the circumstances are or what toll they take on me, I will keep pushing.

I am also grateful for my mother finding God late in her life. Her motivation to find God motivated me to find God. It is a struggle for me sometimes, but I would not want it to be any other way. If I never know what the struggle is, the reward would not be significant.
