I saw you on CNN, and you mention your aunt passed away. I thought, "hmmm...taking it very hard for an aunt.." BUt, now , since clicking on to the post to find out why your heart hurts so much with your aunt's passing, I see she was actually your mother. And a loving, nurturing, gave your heart a home, mother. I'm so sorry for you...that was my grandmother. She was the only mother I knew. I remember I couldn't get off of work when seh passed, since it was "only a grandmother." I called in sick. Titles, they don't really say who that person was to us. Wish I were there to listen to stories about your aunt...you were lucky to have her. You know what, you don’t mention how close and the role your aunt played in making you who you are.

I too am Korean, well half. I read your story on CNN where you stated you wanted to find relatives in Korea. I feel the same but don't have a clue as where to start. I will be subscribing to this blog to keep up with your, hopefully, good progress on finding your relatives. Your Aunt really looks like a pistol...a good one. My grandparents immigrated from South Korea to Hawaii and worked the sugar cane fields. My Dad was in Milwaukee at one time cooking for his uncle until the depression when he went back to Hawaii. We have Kims in our family tree and our "original" name was Mah, then changed to Ma, then Mar, then Marr...drives me crazy and at times I would like to change my last name to Mah. My Korean heritage has become very important to me but I am not young anymore so I try to get what information I can out of my Aunt who is now 89 I think. She's not a Marr and has amazing genes. I've learned a lot from her but still wish I could go backwards more. I wish you luck in finding your relatives... Aloha! Yobo Say Oh…My late condolences to you on the loss of your Aunt.
