    My grandmother died this week.

    I had written a long post about the somewhat rocky relationship we had over the years… but my server went down and I lost it all (thank you God).

    I’m not going to re-write everything, but I will say that over the last year I was able to shed some of my self-absorption (thank you Buddha)… and because of that I got to talk to Grandmother more than I have in the last 10 years.

    I’ll never forget her honesty and her pragmatism.

    And so now I am struck with a case of severe homesickness as I want to be with my family for the funeral and for the Fourth of July.

    But, I’m in Korea, so I suppose I will mourn and celebrate with soju and repeated YouTube viewings of Whitney Houston’s Star Spangled Banner.
