I was a child of late immigrants. My dad was 45 when he emigrated to the United States with mom and me, a middle schooler. This transition from Seoul to Orange Country California was no doubt more jarring and profoundly reorienting for my dad than it was for me. I now more fully understand the guts it takes to pull off a move like this, and even though it is a very sad time to be from the usa, I am grateful to him for it.

Unfortunately, the actual expression (as quoted frequently by Beth) is, “A parent is only as happy as their unhappiest child”.
