The time I just met Andrew, I'm still looking for a fairy tail kind of love, such as a love-at-first-sight or an instant connection. However, things had been so smooth between me and him. There was no pressure, no tension or any obstacle in our relationship. Things had been as smooth as it could be and it gave me a feeling like "Look, how things could be so easy when I'm with him, just as it's meant to be". And just like that, our love and our trust slowly grows, even until now, we still on our adventure to understand the partner. We grow old together and never stop learning about each other and surprising each other. That's how we keep our relationship working.
My sister is now walking on her own path that completely separates her with the whole family. It's not that we family don't support the faith in God or Catholic, her religion is a strangest and weirdest religion we've known of, though. First of all, whole family believe in Buddhist, it's such a huge change that she chose God over Buddha and family. Second, her religion goes again the entire believe in thousands years about the worship of Vietnamese people. She didn't want to join in any party with family for the death anniversary and even insulted family's belief sometimes. She's changing to be a completely different person to who I've known before. Things are even seem worse when it also goes again the world Catholic or Christian believe. It's on its own and believes on its own God. It doesn't celebrate Christmas and state that the holiday the whole world have been believing for thousand year is just fake, is a joke, is a trick of Satan....bla...bla...bla... Worst of all, she doesn't even respect my Mom anymore. She believes all people have only one Dad and Mom, who is God. She and my Mom just the two spirit meet each other in life. And so, there is no need to look up to my Mom as a "Mom"!! My Mom just looses my sister like that, by a stupid religion. She can walk her own way, just like me walk out of the country, but it's really unacceptable when she just simply forgets where she comes from and drops off her identity like that.
About 2 years ago, my sister-in-law's business was blooming and doing so well that make me be happy for her as well as so jealous of her talent. She is smart, beautiful, creative and gifted. She have a wonderful family with a hilarious, kind and smart husband and 3 beautiful little angels that are just as smart and funny as their parents and such wonderful kids. And in the middle of all the wonderful things happen around her, there is only one thing happens, that such a big twist and turn - breast cancer. No one has ever expected that event at this time of life and at her young, beautiful, blooming age. With all the God's bless, I'll pray for her everyday, for those little angels that they could bring hopes, loves and joys to Leah's family. Have she strong to overcome all these obstacles, and hold tight on life for a better future.

In those 5 years living in America, I have seen 6 babies been born, and have not made myself one :| There was baby Adam, Leah's third baby. She didn't plan to have him, however God have a bigger plan for her! There were Tam's babies, and she had 2 little cuties, one boy and one girl. There was Chaya's baby, I was still go out on the beach with her the day right before she found out she carry another spirit inside her. There was Dolly's baby, such a little princess. I saw Dolly enjoy dressing up her cutie everyday just as happy as playing with Barbie! :) And there was Nancy's baby, the friend I just made when I moved to America. Beside that, there were a lot of friends at home have gave birth. Specially my BFF - Hanh, the special one that I was lucky enough to go home and join in her wedding. And I was lucky enough to become God mother of that baby. Although I couldn't spend time with that daughter a lot, I'll look after her all my life and never refuse any request from her or her Mom!!! That's my little girl, who carry the lifetime friendship between me and her mom, and I'll let her know how special she is when she grow up. I'll let her know "how I met her mother" and "how her dad met her mother" :)))))
Life is full of unexpected changes. I believe things happen for a reason, we are too small to understand those reasons, so just LET IT BE and make the best out of any situation. There is up and down in life, that's life supposes to be. So when we feel like we are at bottom, just know that nobody is going down forever, we will go down and then we will go up. It's just like a roller coaster, so sit tight, relax and enjoy the ride.
