Along with the nation I’d been following the Kim family story very closely… I felt very connected to the story – perhaps superficially - because they are my age, have a baby the same age as Little D, are part asian, were visiting relatives in Seattle and Portland, and just seem like people we’d be friends with, and really, that it could have been my family taking that holiday trip. Yesterday I was driving along a little after noon and listening to NPR, and was horrified to learn that they had found James Kim’s body… perhaps because I’m sleep deprived but probably not, I was brought to tears. I really feel for his family and cannot even imagine what they were/are feeling. What would we have done?
Needless to say my thoughts are with Kati and the girls and his family. And am giving lots of extra hugs and kisses to my family.
