Grandmother in Korean is "halmoni." (We pronounce it "Harmony"). In February, several members of my husband's family took Halmoni to the beach for a "vacation". She is battling colon cancer and is 'done' (by choice) with treatments. We had a wonderful visit with her and everyone that we don't get to see often enough! The kids especially had a fun time going to the beach in the winter! We celebrated a birthday or two and celebrated family. We had a wonderful visit, but it was admittedly tough saying goodbye. . .maybe for the last time. Because she arranged my husband's adoption from Korea about 34 years ago, I have her to thank for the family I have today. (In the top photo, the woman in the solid red shirt is my mother in law. Seated is Halmoni's son. Her daughter is in the striped shirt. Her son-in-law and family friend also standing).
