This past Friday was my mother's final day of work in the finance office of the National Association of Letter Carriers in Washington, DC. This week also saw her depart from her post as an executive board member ("i-sa") of the Washington Korean Women's Society, so she now joins Dad as a fellow retiree. She faces her first Monday with "nothing to do," as Dad jokingly puts it.
Of course, neither she nor Dad has nothing to do. Some major house-related projects loom on the horizon, and both parents now have time to deal with them. I'll be curious to see what new daily routines emerge as Mom and Dad find themselves together for longer periods than was ever possible before.
Enjoy the dawn of a new phase of life, Mom! I love you.
