11:40pm Monday night November 9, 2009. Sitting here talking with my brother, Matt, wondering about what Korea is like. He has some memories, but not fully formed ones. He was 18 months old and can remember things like a large office with filing cabinets and a toy horse.. I sometimes envy that. I can't recall a damn thing, although you can't blame me since I was only 5 months old.
I would like to think that a wave of emotions will fall on me when I get off the plane in Seoul. Back in Korea after 25 years, something should be felt. My biggest fear is that nothing will connect. I guess why should it, but there should be something visceral when I land. I want that experience.
Here's to you Matt, this post is in honor of you. At least one of us can remember some distant memory of the motherland.
