BREAKING: Kim Jong-Il is dead.
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) remains the world’s longest-lived dictatorship, home to a near-perfect cult of personality that rulers like Stalin and Mao only dreamed of. Today, more than six decades after its post-World War II creation, North Korea endures as a true digital-age rarity: a land largely unrecorded, even while its influence — on the global stage and the world’s imagination — intensifies.
LIFE asked five award-winning photographers to share their stories and photos — some of which have never before been published in the U.S. — from their travels in the North. The hazards of journeying to the DPKR as a Western journalist, covertly or in plain sight, are as numerous as they are dire. Shooting there requires skill, strategy, and guts; the five photojournalists here risked all to reveal the enigmatic universe behind the North Korean curtain.(see more — North Korea: Inside a Secret State)

We are expecting a little one!!!
Found out this past Thursday.
I am 7 weeks, and 2 days :)
These past week have been a mix of emotions. We lost a beautiful woman who is now in heaven with our Grandpa. But we were all together for maybe the last time. I miss all my family. And I hope we do see each other again.
It’s very sad that people could still find drama at a devastating time like this. I had completely forgotten all the drama that went on with my Grandmother’s death and decided to put it all to rest when she had passed. But a conversation last night lit the fire once again. I know my Grandma is all about keeping the peace. But its very discouraging when there is only one side to the story and the truth is hidden.
I want to put this all to rest but I can’t. After all I did, everything my family has went through. We do not deserve any of this. If it causes a permanent divide then so be it.
