We went at the worst time for the mandarins. Big uncle showed me how to hold a huge spider in my hand, my worst fear. Small uncle took a picture of me as I walked through endless green tea leaves, my favorite kind. I don’t know Grandma’s name, and I’ll never forget my aunt’s. Jeju was 3 years ago but I still remember the loud crash of waves, the softest little wildflowers. Maybe it was the blues and greens, maybe it was the strangers I call family. But in these moments so many motherlands away, I found a place I know as home.
