… God has blessed our family with so much. I pray every day that we are worthy of His gifts. I was afraid my sons would die in prison camp, and they survived. I feared our families would never escape the Communists, but the Lord was watching over us, and the boat captains agreed to my proposal. We were strangers in this beautiful cold country, but God provided us with our guardian angels, the Bourdains.

They have no reason to offer such kindness, yet they do. Monsieur Bourdain is the man I aspired to be in Vietnam. I gave up this dream long ago. Perhaps Yen will one day reach his status. He is doing very well at the law firm. But poor Phung, so like his mother in heart and head. Fortunately, he is not smart enough ever to understand my disappointment. He is grateful only for his wife and daughter, content with his small life, which relieves me.

I look forward to every visit we have with the Bourdains, because I know they are busy people. They do so much for the community, and their bright young son excels at his studies. I am proud to report that Xuan is also doing very well in his schooling, and Cam is performing capably. The three of them, friends since childhood, almost siblings. I hope they will remain close all their lives, long after their grandparents and parents have passed.
