"MY DAD's STORY IN BLACK & WHITE": The Ending:

On Thursday 8-23-18, my dad lost his long battle with Parkinson's disease. I was hoping he would live to see Korea united in peace.

Today I just realized that my dad died on the same day he married my mom, 23August. After checking their wedding notice from the newspaper clipping mom kept all these years, I was SHOCKED to discover that he also died the EXACT SAME TIME as their wedding, 11AM.

The experienced hospice RN thought he would die during the night of the 22nd. My dad had been calling out for my mom the week before he died, "Doris...Doris." I think he waited for her to come get him, I really do. It's too much of a coincidence to not be #DivineIntervention.
