Dad’s email of the week // Mother’s Day
One of the hardest things for me to see when I took my dad back to Vietnam was my father’s pain when visiting my Grandmother’s tomb. I’ve never seen him hurt so bad…
His latest email for Mother’s Day brought back the memory of my dad on his hands and knees crying out for his mom. I’ll never know his pain, but I do know his heart in this email.
His written english may be challenging for some to read, but it doesn’t make it any less meaningful.
It came attached with the photos above as well… my dad’s the man.
My mom is the bees knees. Happy Mother’s Day.
Love you Mom, love you Dad.

Here’s the email:
Children,
Forward to you this e-mail from one of my Navy friend. It’s hitting me real bad and broken my heart.
Unfortunate to me… You know what’s happened. I lost my mom 62 years ago when I was just 3 and a half years old. I never have a chance, just ONCE, to say or to tell her anything…
On the eve of Mother Day and the eve of my life. Kids do something for your mom to make her happy, saying you are loving her so much… before too late.
- Dad
