Happy children's day!
I can hardly remember the last time I celebrated children's day. I think the last memory I have of receiving a present on this day was probably when I was in grade 7 or 8. Knowing that there is no such thing as "children's day" in Canada, my aunt sent my sister and I a box full of pretty things, all the way from Korea. I still remember how happy I was when I opened the package! Back then, I was obsessed with Hello Kitty. I got a whole collection of Hello Kitty - umbrella, folder, pencil holder, stationaries, and probably some other goodies, but I can't recall everything (it's just way too long ago). She sent two of everything in different styles - she knew my sister and I would fight over the presents. My aunt also included a card, and she said something like, how she would celebrate the children's day with my sister and I, until her son goes to middle school. Hmmm, my cousin is in first year university. I'm not sure if she kept her promise but I'm thankful for my aunt. I think she's probably the third most thoughtful person in my life. The first being my mom, the second being my grandma, and then my aunt. She's also written the most about of letters/card to me from Korea. The last couple of times I visited Korea, my eemo and I used to go out for coffee and cake, go shopping, and watch movies together. Ahh fun times. If I go back to Korea in the near future, I would love to spend more time with my eemos - just simple things like going for coffee or dduk-bok-ee would be so much fun, just like always!
