Korea Life Blog - A Sad Day for Julie

Saturday afternoon, her phone rang. Immediately Julie began to sob. Her grandfather had been in a car accident the night before. He didn't survive.

He was a traditional Korean man who owned a small farm and a hill. Through tears she told me about the many wonderful times they had together simply talking and eating delicious side dishes. While they were very close before, Julie hadn't spent spent much time with him recently. She feels guilty because she knows he was lonely since his wife had died years before of cancer.

I'm pretty sure everyone can relate to how she feels. I know I can. All over the world, people are basically the same.
