I had entered a contest in mid-August. I wrote a 150 word essay summing the last couple of years for us. I wrote it and forgot about it and I didn't tell a soul. Then, one month later, I got notice that my story was very popular and I should try for more votes. So I did. I worked hard trying to get more votes. I entered the My Life Reader's Digest contest and lost. I saw on their Facebook page the winner of the story and was a bit bummed it was not a profound story or even slightly interesting...at least to me.
But, I put Jaemin to bed tonight and sat on his bedside and just looked at him. He's so beautiful and he makes me a million times happier than that $25,000 could have even if it did get us to Korea. Even if we never get to go, I have him...my little piece of Korea. I could sit and stare into those beautiful, thinking eyes for hours. I love everything about Jaemin. He is my miracle in life. My blessing of a lifetime. I would never have even thought and dwelled over Korea if it weren't for having 3 of my kids, so I'm thankful to them for another love in life and an interest in a journey and exploration. I love my children and in the end, that's what I need.
