Warning: This might be a tear-jerker

I was cleaning up my room tonight. Just tiding up a bit. I came across a journal that I had purchased when I was in Korea back in 2003.

You open to the first page and it reads, "Private Journal! Please DO NOT read! Thank You." I turned the page and it was letters that I had written to my birth mother.

Letters to her that she will never see. Letters saying how much I miss her, and how much I had wished that I had stayed in Korea with her. Always ending with the same ending 'love, Ha Na.'

"Tuesday 10-7-03
Dear Mee Ran~
I'm part of an adoption support group at school.
Mrs. Kwantes asked me to talk about it. I said that I
would try. I said I would try because I cry every time I
try talking about you. You're so precious to me. I'm afraid
that if lots of people know about you; they'll act differently
in front of me.
Love, Ha Na"

The letters go on, and state other things as well. I miss her. I miss my older sister and brother. I got a bunch of pictures from them when I was over there. I lost the bag that I always kept in my purse with those pictures. It's been gone now for about a year and a half. I have no idea where it is.

Anyway I hope that you all have a great night, and I will write again soon.

Love,
Bethany
