Your Dream is Alive

April 17, 2002

It's been almost 17 years since Hakkun's dream came crashing down as his bicycle was hit head-on by a car and his body thrown to the pavement where he lay motionless. That was September 19th, 1985.

His swollen and unconscious body lay in a hospital for almost four months. Soon E came every day to bathe him and hope that somehow he would come back to her and the girls.

It ended on January 30th,1986. As the life slipped from his body, his dream of taking his family to America ended and Soon E was left to face the monumental struggle of trying to raise three daughters with no money and no job.

Today, 16 years and three months after she left him for the last time in the hospital and waited for his body to be taken away, Soon E had come back from the United States and prepared to have a memorial service at his grave with her husband and two sisters.
