The kids went to bed hours ago, You didn't get to eat dinner with them Or ask about their day. That's what life is like here, Working, working, always working in this country. But it won't stop you from letting them know You love them. Tomorrow, they'll find handwritten notes Tucked inside their school books. She was here, she remembered me, they'll think. The other day, you bought two new pairs of sneakers. One for you, one for your daughter, who is all grown up. You had plans to take a walk together, To enjoy the spring weather on Easter weekend. Maybe you'd tell her about your Zumba class, Or play your favorite Justin Bieber songs during the walk. You won't get a chance to hear her say it, But your granddaughter will tell reporters later "She was like a rock for our family." "She would tell me, 'If you're happy, then I'm happy.'" In loving memory of Suncha Kim Written by Ruth Youn
You worked hard to make a living, Saw what needed to be done. And so you made The Decision To cross the ocean. Months later, you would hit "send" on WeChat, Sending American dollars. Your love crossing back over the ocean, Stretching to meet the needs of your Mother, brothers, sister, nephew, relatives, neighbors. Those American dollars every month, for years, Were a reminder, a response to your brother, Incredulous when you announced your plans. "You haven't graduated from primary school, he said. How can you go to the United States? In loving memory of Daoyou Feng Written by Ruth Youn
You see the present But want a different future. So you chase it, Working, working, working, For yourself, for your daughter, And for so many others, Travelers on the same journey. New clothes, plans, lists of the places you wanted to go You couldn't wait to retire. Later, they would say: "She was the sweetest person," "She was always thinking about her family," "She was my sanctuary." In loving memory of Xiaojie Tan Written by Ruth Youn
