with seung-hee and my mother-in-law...

i am not worthy to have the mother-in-law that i have. even though i don't call her enough since i've been officially her son-in-law, she still has been so supportive of me since my mom died. it was she who suggested that we come to this temple on the 49th day in order to celebrate mom's ascent to heaven, as it were. she didn't have to come, as she has a big trip to the u.s. in a few days and for which she has been really busy preparing. however, she is one of a kind and insisted that she be present at this ceremony. in fact, she insisted, since i am now her "son", that we have this ceremony, regardless of my mom's being catholic and my being either muslim or against all organized religion, depending on my mood of the day...
