Blog post dedicated to my parents on their retirement! Dad with my niece, Vivian Mom with Kaylee Mom and the girls of the family With my sisters and and sister in law With sister and Niece Two babies of the family What we call our home now wasn’t easy to begin with. My father was taken away from our family to a concentration camp where he was tortured and punished by the communist during the Vietnam War. Since my father scarified for his country we had the opportunity to go overseas and start a new life in America, the land of new opportunities. My oldest sister was left behind with her family in Vietnam and was not able to start a new journey with the rest of our family because her husband and children were not allowed to come. My parents envisioned a new beginning and to achieve a life that they have always dreamt of. In 2008, our family was reunited again. My oldest sister made a journey for herself to start a new life with her children and husband in America
