when we practice forgiveness.

past,and is therefore the means
for correcting our misperceptions."

" Nothing in the world can take the place of
persistence. Talent will not; nothing is
more common than unsuccessful men with
talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius
is almost a proverb. Education will not;
the world is full of educated failures.
Persistence and determination alone are
omnipotent."
- Calvin Coolidge
"You know quite well, deep within you,
that there is only a single magic,
a single power, a single salvation,,,
and that is called Loving.
Well then, Love your suffering.
Do not resist it, do not flee from it.
It is only your aversion that hurts,
nothing else."
- Herman Hesse
" To find yourself, think for yourself."
- Socrates
"The secret of happiness is not in getting
what you like, but in liking what you
get."
-James M. Barrie
"You've got to love like you'll never get hurt.
You've got to dance like there's nobody
watching. You've got to come from the
heart if you want it to work."
- Susanna Clarke
"Why destroy your present happiness by a
distant misery, which may never come at all?
For every substantial grief has twenty
shadows and most of the shadows
are of your own making."
- Sydney Smith
unless that soul really wants help
and is ready to be helped.
I tell you to send that soul nothing
but Love and more Love.
Be still and wait, but be there when
that soul turns for help."
- Eileen Caddy
"What we have done for ourselves alone,
dies with us. What we have done for
others and the world, remains and is
Immortal." - Robert Pine
If you depend on someone for your happiness
you are becoming a slave,
you are becoming dependent,
you are creating a bondage.
And you depend on so many people,
they all become subtle masters,
they all exploit you in return.
- Bragwan Shree Rajneesh
" We could never Learn to be brave and patient if there were only
Joy in the world." - Hellen Keller
Peggy's favorite quote,
" The way to happiness : keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry,
Live simply, expect little, give much."
- Barney O' Lavin
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there. I did not die." Author Unknown
Today is August 1st,
A day full of
Joy tinged with grief,
Such gain yet also such loss,
Happiness mixed with sadness,
Laughter but also tears.
Today we celebrate him but also mourn her.
Today will always be a day we forever love him and forever miss her.
Today we will forever remember.
I love and miss you!!

I Love You. Dad
I was outside, approaching our home...it was sunny, windless, and not cold.
I heard her laughing, that melodic, punctuated, unbelievably happy laugh, and I knew she was playing with her joy, Liam.
The laugh came from the window of either the playroom or the girl's room. I knew it was just her and Liam in there.
Upon hearing her, I found myself suddenly approaching her at the top of the steps in unbelief. Questions running around in my head, but those questions weren't as important as my seeing her and embracing her.
Neither happiness nor sadness came from her face, just peace. Her appearance was slightly different, difficult to explain, perhaps darker in complexion, mildly weathered, but certainly still beautiful. And there was nothing else I've ever wanted to see more.
Then I woke...glad to have felt her close again.
I miss you Peggy!

Disbelief remains as I try to figure out what this "new" normal is supposed to be. Anger remains as I try to rationalize why something like this would happen. Sadness remains as I miss you Peggy more & more each day."
My incomprehension on your loss. Deepest condolences to you and your family.

Your goodness lives on in so many hearts, including mine.
Thank you.
Love to your family,

I can remember one year I got a t-shirt with Hannah and Juliette picture on it and it said we love Grandpa. It was a long sleeve t shirt so I don't where it in the summer. But I wear it often in the fall and winter. I told Grace that I love that t shirt. She said that Peggy is the one that made it. I love that shirt.
I am so sad to hear about your loss. My prayer to you and your family.

Leave a Tribute
Your mom and I went to the Great Falls NP this morning and sat down on your bench, thinking of you many good memories you had left us. I truly missed you every day. Today was the first inaugural day for Christopher's tee ball game, which reminds me of you and Jimmy's old days. We will have a Halmoni camp on 8/18 thru 8/30 for Liam and Oliver this year. We are trying to make the event as joy able as possible. Peggy's Program has been doing well and we will keep it as long as we can.
Love mom and dad
Just wanted to say hi..
Hi Peggy,
This year has been quite eventful so far with a big family vacation which felt like a bootcamp. I got promoted, Hun went on biz trips almost every month, and Eurie had a surgery. Just going through the whole process of dealing with her medical needs, I would have to say, was the most difficult thing I've done as a mom. But, I always thought of how you'd have handled situations like this, and it made me regain courage and hope. You would have been so proud of Eurie! We talk about you often and the girls remember how kind and sweet you were. We miss you very much. Though it might be some time until we meet again, when we do, I'll bring my emergency clubbing kit with me. We shall party like we did before. :-)
Love always,

From August 8th ...
Hey 누나, remember our talks about tattoos? And how we said that we would never get a tattoo of someone else's name? Well, guess I was wrong. Got your Korean name (Chung Jin) in hanja the other day on my shoulder. I know there are other ways to "honor" you (wink, wink ... since that's the tattoo I got on my other shoulder when we were hanging out in New York), but I wanted a permanent reminder for myself. And the fact that your name means real, genuine and true made it really fitting.
I miss you so much. I keep finding myself waiting by my phone to see if you texted or called. I keep wishing for even another minute with you to tell you that I love you. I keep searching for a way to just go on, because I know that's what you would have wanted.
Thank you for being such an awesome sister, for being my best friend and for still watching over us all.
Love and miss you always
Liam's birthday
This video was taken on Oct. 19, 2012, when Liam officially turned 1 year old. It's over 2 minutes long, but if you watch the whole thing, you'll get to catch glimpses of Peggy as she was and hear her beautiful voice.
Yesterday, Liam turned 3 years old.
Yesterday was another birthday without Peggy.
Yesterday was another day when she should have been there.
Yesterday was the second time celebrating Liam's birthday without her, his umma who only got to celebrate his first birthday with him.
Though we filled the whole weekend with fun and laughter and love for Liam, it still felt terrible and so wrong without her. Peggy, how we miss you so much and how we wish you were here.
