Ba and Ma, you are very special people whom I am proud to call my Mom and Dad. You are fun, loving, and wise! It has been a great joy in my life to be able to spend the time with you that I have since I met you in 1996. I formally asked for your beautiful daughter Anh's hand in marriage in December 1999, and to my surprise, you graciously accepted! :)  Thank you for taking me in (and ON) as a son. That is the first of many wonderful things that you have done to touch me over the past 22 years. We travelled the world together for countless months, including many weeks in your home country of Vietnam. We spent many more months in other exotic places, with lots of exotic tropical fruit (which Ma, you always made me pick), with incredible and unique memories from a private island in Cambodia, active trips in Central American countries, and even  RV camping thru Canada.   I cannot being to express the joy that time created for me, learning about you, What amazing people you are. You have an incredible and impressive history of endurance, commitment, successes, trials and tribulations coming to your new country and raising a wonderful, beautiful family. I was able to gain 16 decades of your combined wisdom thru insightful conversations over the years.  I could write days about all the things you have done for me, and all the things you make me thankful for, but allow me to conclude this, recognizing not all must be put into words, its the time we spent, the deeds we did that we will speak for eternity. Your teachings and guidance will always be coveted, and presence will forever be felt, and Anh will always be with me. I love you and your family.


Kim is one of those with a golden heart. Such passion and love to Lac. And the unconditional love she has for her sons and daughters  is nothing short but amazing. She saw them all as equal, and love and bragged about them and was so proud of them. Such lovely stories she had shared to me even though I was just with them in a short time.

Earning his trust and friendship amidst his condition was worth the time.
