Between 11:15am service and Communion service yesterday, I went home to relax, eat some food and check my email. When I checked my hotmail account for new emails, I found that I had received an email from someone I was not expecting to receive an email from. This person is very special to me and I love him very much. I received an email from one of my first grade students in Korea. And I am telling you that almost let a tear drop. I could not believe it. I have not seen, Mark since I left Korea on September 30, 2008. Its been about 6 months.
Before I left, he told me that he asked his father if he could create an email account so he could keep in touch with me. And so he did. We emailed each other a few times after I returned home but somehow life became a distraction. Now that I have received this email, I have begun to recollect all of the memories that I have stored in my mental archive as well as my blog archive.
This is the email Mark sent me. Wouldn't this make you a little teary eyed?
Hello! Christoph!!
Did you have a good time?
I am 2nd grade now.
In Korea it is spring.
Did you forget me? I did not forget you.
If you forget me, I will be very disappointed.
sincerely!

I miss my students so much! See, in Korea and in other countries. Students have no problem with saying, "I love you." And it is not a problem for a teacher to respond in like manner.
So, Mark, I want you to know that I love you and I will never forget you!
