On Our Own

Stream-of-consciousness tales of a single mom and her two kids as we embark on a life-altering adventure.

farewell party


Nearly forty students showed up to send me off in style tonight. It was an overwhelming shower of love with people who have become far more than simply my students. They are friends and I will miss them as much as they have said they will miss me. And they gave me the best gift ever.... a copy of the "Class Book" which I jokingly griped about having to fill out every day, which they then signed with their sentiments. It was a lovely gesture and I will forever treasure it.

Tomorrow we pack up and leave bright and early Friday morning, off to Ha Noi before trekking in Sa Pa for two days. Then life swings into crazy action again. Enough of the sedentary life, eh?

Cuong.... Yes, you will be my friend forever. Next time you go to Sam Son, wave to me. I'll be on the opposite shore, across the ocean.
