By God's grace, we made it through this year of separation and are finally living together in Tacoma, Washington! One of our dear friends, a sister by virtue of also being an army wife, gave us this pair of Korean wedding ducks when we left Korea. In traditional Korean weddings, the groom gave the bride's parents a pair of ducks or geese to symbolize lifelong commitment because these birds mate for life.
These wooden ducks have the same meaning, and our friend gave them to us knowing that we would be separated for a time. I took mine to Kansas City and Seong kept his in our home in Washington. We have been waiting, working hard on our own, and traveling a lot to be together as much as possible during this year. Well, now these ducks are safely reunited, and so are we.
