I ask the question with a proud smile on my face...Jacqui asked me last weekend where I came from and we got into a long discussion about Viet Nam and my parents' journey here. The conversation made me really proud of my parents, especially my mom who left her entire life and family behind to create a new life for our family in the United States - at the age of 20 nonetheless. A difficult and relentless journey, which paved the road for me to be who I am today. If I become even half the person that my mom is, I would be happy with that. She is amazing with a touch of crazy...I can imagine Jacqui calling me the crazy part in later years.
