My grandfather and grandmother moved with my dad, his brothers and sisters from South Korea after they escaped North Korea during the Korean War. They originally were planning on going to Brazil but a similar situation happened like what has just happened this week in America and they ended up being able to immigrate to the USA instead and start a life with the literal money in my grandpas pockets. They lived and grew up in the Bay Area and now 35 years later my dad is a successful small business owner in Phoenix AZ with grandchildren and a neat legacy to leave behind. I'll never understand what it was like for them in the old country.

Edit: Spelling and grammar

Edit: First time being gifted gold. Glad it was over something meaningful. Thanks stranger
