Thank you for this - there's definitley a cumulative effect as each one completes their service. I won't lie - with the state of the world, I kept thinking, "just let them come home safe and whole." As an overachieving oldest daughter, I can relate to having to shoulder so many burdens while also still trying to allow one's inner child to experience zany crazy silliness.

I can't even imagine how insane the reaction will be with Jimin and JK. And then I hope we all rebound and erase any doubt that BTS is 7 by welcoming SUGA both as the last one and as himself.

Girrrlll… oldest first born daughters (of immigrants first and second gen no less) checking in. I want to have them all leave on a trip, snuggle in one amazing place with great food, squishy beds, stocked bar, video games, doggies and kitties and love. Oh wait, I just made the Soop 3.0

Let's hope that wish to see the Northern Lights comes true!

This fellow first gen immigrant eldest daughter sees you and appreciates the added struggle - Borahae!

same. And they will have time to heal and rest. I need nothing from them.
