The story of James & Kati Kim really touched my heart this week. A couple and their two girls were missing in snow in Oregon since the Thanksgiving holiday. Kati & her daughters were found safe & alive at the beginning of the week, and James was found dead after leaving the family car for help.
No one will ever understand why something like this happens ~ the easiest way to explain it is that he had done everything he was intended to do on this earth. At the end of today's article, I got chillbumps (aka vibrating skin)
A few blocks away, a sign outside Church Street Apothecary, one of the Kims' two boutiques, read: "We will be closed for a few days. Please respect our privacy."
Below the sign, scores of flowers, cards and candles conveyed warm wishes from neighbors.
"Your dad is a hero. Your dad is a great, kind man. He will always love you very much," said a handmade card written in a child's scrawl, signed by "Malia."
I've started calling the baby Malia (Hawaiian for Marie - my grandma's name). To see this online today felt like a confirmation that she exists and we'll be together when it's time.
