This is my sister Min Young, she is the 2nd oldest. She is the sister who first contacted me. She wrote the very first letter I receieved and is the one who I exchanged emails with for almost 2 years. Her and her husband both speak a little english which helped a lot during my trip. She is a special education teacher and I can tell she is great at it because of her warmth, joy and outgoing personality. She lives in Bucheon which is in between Seoul and Incheon. We stayed at her home most of the time, or at least the time we weren't traveling. My birth family was poor so Min Young was the one chosen, by her parents, to be sent to college. She is the only one of my three older sisters that went to college. She talked about the pressure that she felt to do well and take care of her family. She met her husband in college and they have traveled to Australia and New Zealand. They have two beautiful daughters that are ages 4 and 5. Her husband was also a lot of fun. A big ham in front of the camera.
This is my oldest sister, Chum-Yi. She has a boy who is 8 and a girl who is 7. She lives in Yeosu, their hometown. We stayed at her house over New Years. She is quiet and more resevered, but her strength comes from the Lord. When we were talking about our faith, she shared that her life was very difficult after her mom passed away and my two other sisters moved away. She said that it was through these difficult times that her christian faith became sincere. When I asked her what her favorite place in Yeosu was, she answered the Dolsan Bridge. My sisters grew up in a teeny house just under the bridge. She said they used to walk back and forth across the bridge to clear their minds or talk about life. Being the oldest child and the one to stay in Yeosu I wonder what her responsibilities were. She met her husband on a blind date. He was so sweet and sincerely emotional. He was sentimental and so caring. He sang to Antonia a korean song one night. He also is a big Beatles fan. He wanted us to sing "Let it be" all together. He really tried to communicate with us and was so friendly. He kept saying "we are one family."Oh, my favorite thing about him was that at the end of their wedding, he was carrying my sister down the aisle and he tripped, dropping her and face planting himself. ha. we saw the video.
My 3rd sister is Ji Young. My brother in law called us the "twin towers" because we look so similar. She is such a tropper because she is 6 months pregnant and still did everything. She was fun loving and sweet. We have the same laugh and my brother in law teased us plenty about that. Her daughter is 3 and a boy is due in March. Her and her husband also met on a blind date. I've been thinking maybe I should try my luck. She lives about two hours south of my middle sister. It seems as though the two families are close and they have children about the same age. In Korea, the first birthday is a really big celebration. I told her I would try to make it for her son's first birthday next year.
