Thanks for the well wishes that continue to come in, both by mail and comments on this blog. I'm still adjusting, still busy and unfortunately haven't been able to fit in much blogging. Its been over three months now. I was just looking at this video clip of Shin laughing with Toby. The date of the video is Jan 11. Amazing that she passed away only 16 days later.
All is well. I have several stories about Toby and Josie that I would like to share and I do find that my feelings and the ways I miss Shin evolve over time. I'll try to gather my thoughts and share them soon.

About Me
- Shin
- Singapore
- I was born in South Korea in 1966. My family immigrated to the U.S. when I was eight years old (I'm now a U.S. citizen). We lived in Nashville, Tennessee and New Jersey. I went to college in New York City, worked as a schoolteacher in Indiana and Philadelphia, and as a legal assistant in New York. I worked as a reporter in Seoul, South Korea and as a TV news producer and Internet news editor in Singapore. I've lived in Korea, U.S., France, and Singapore. My favorite travels have been to Peru, Belize, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. My proudest moment is now. My least proud moments are too many to list. My happiest moments are now. My unhappiest moments are too few and too unimportant to remember.

That happens to be one of my favourite games with my four year old as well.. his favourite game too...
I miss Shin and when I watched the video, I am reminded of how I should really treasure the moments I have with my loved ones when they are right beside me...
Hi Tony, we all miss Shin... thanks for the video.
Such a lovely moment. :)

Hi, I do miss Shin too and hope you and Toby and Josie are doing well. Take your time...
Is nice to hear and see Shin so happy with Toby just 16 days before her passing and glad that she was so happy with Toby.
I still drop by almost everyday but didn't drop a word because I understand you will be very busy and also you need to spend more time with Toby and Josie as much as you can. Take care. :)
Wow, the raspberries on the tummy game. I am glad to read your post, and I know I'm not alone. You sound strong. I did make a small memorial: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=na&GSfn=shin&GSbyrel=in&GSdyrel=in&GSob=n&GRid=33643316&
Sad...tearful...angry...She was so God damn special...
How I wish every tear I just shed whilst watching this video and listening to your PERFECT music at the same time was a minute extra for you with Shin...my heart has just broken...I can't imagine how you are feeling and applaud your strenghth and determination..It really IS what she wanted but still a tough order... xxx
Hi Tony, I miss Shin. I am counting my blessings with my 3 young children. You take care. Take your time to post. Please give hugs for me to Toby and Josie. Thanks, Tony.
Thanks for sharing too.. i can feel the happiness of her although she not in good condition.
We should learn from her. Many of us who are healthy but seems put ourself to live in the sick world.
Take care of yourself, and those who are still alive.
'Life is short, enjoy!'

Hi Tony,
I happened to see you and yr 2 lovely treasures with their nana at PP one evening abt 2 wks ago. Was happie to see all were well, except prob Josie who seemed to be throwing a tantrum and standing by the railings sulking by herself..*.^ She has grown up to be a very pretty lady and looks so much like Shin. Wish u and all well, esp the kids.
Hi Tony, How are you and the kids?
I am not sure if you have read this news about a 4yrs old girl who has cancer and need to raise $ for her treatment. She is as tough and cheerful as Shin and I am sure Shin will be very happy to want to know her and help her too. I am sure you and Josie and Toby would love to help her as much. :)
Here is her website.

In one large study, the drug tamoxifen reduced the number of new cases of breast cancer among women who were at an increased risk of the disease. Doctors are studying whether the drug raloxifene is as effective as tamoxifen. This study is called STAR (Study of Tamoxifen and Raloxifene).
