At 8:00 P.M. CST today, my son and his wife will leave Soeul, South Korea for a new life and adventure in Huntington, New York. It's been over five years since Daniel's lived in the United States. Kate, a Korean, has never lived in America and visited only once three years ago.
Bored with life in general, Daniel moved to Daejeon, South Korea in 2006 to teach English as a second language. Within six months of arriving, he met Kate and they married in 2009. I hated that Daniel moved so far from home, but now believe it was necessary so he could meet his soul mate.
Daniel was lucky to have Kate's help in acclimating to a different culture. Now it's his turn, although I don't believe Kate will need as much help. She's already been instrumental in setting up their new business as guardians and tutors for Koreans enrolled in a Huntington, NY high school.
Daniel and Kate's new business venture would seem to be the perfect opportunity for an American-Korean couple. Time will tell, but I'm extremely hopeful. I'm also thrilled to have my son and his wife living so much closer to home.
Welcome home, Daniel, and welcome to America, Kate!
