Speaking from the Heart

The bottom left picture is Mom and Minnie, and the the bottom right is a picture of my grandma and me. Do you see the similiarities?

Grandma Ly and Mom, were a young brides to foreigners. After marriage, They migrated to their spouses' countries. They vowed to return to their native countries to visit their mothers. Due to finacial circumstances, Grandmother Ly never returned to China. Mom returned to Vietnam twenty years later, but Grandmother Ly had already passed away.

Grandmother Ly and Mom's were brave women. I wouldn't have been brave to leave my native country nor Mom behind. .I can't imagine not having Mom around to share the planning of my wedding or the births of The Inquisistor and Minnie. I regret not knowing Grandmother Ly. However, I am glad the kids have the opportunity to create memoriable memories with Mom.
