Mom's 60th

Her birthday was 2 months ago. But I didn't have time to blog much these days. Fortunately, as a substitute teacher, I do get 3 weeks off. Which is very nice. 

Well.. Mom is 60 and she is smiling like she's still in her 40s. The same smile when I was a kid. In many ways, I thank God that she gives and continue to give me a crazy amount of love and support. It's overwhelming and I cannot express it in words.

97

I don't remember if we celebrated grandma's 97 last year or did I miss her actual age. To be blunt and honest with you, no one in the family knows her exact age. So year after year, we just keep on counting the number. Whether she is 95, 96, 97, or 100, only God knows. Did she get a birth certificate almost 100 years ago? who knows.. Even if she did have it, bringing a piece of paper along with you to the United States of America 30-40 years ago doesn't seem to make sense. So, why bother with the actual age when we can celebrate the fact that we're alive?

In my experience, after receiving a kidney transplant, everyday is a brand new day. A lot of people say, "same shit different day," and "same old same old. But for me, everyday is a brand new day to celebrate life! Whether i'll be doing something to make progress towards something bigger or doing something new, everyday, in a sense, is a birthday for me.

ba mui's birthday

earlier this week, on monday, we come over to celebrate ba mui's 68th birthday. like the usual "birthday party" at the Luc's, we eat and chill. fortunately, grandma came over and eat with us. I took this opportunity to talk and have a conversation with her. Turns out, our conversation lasted over half an hour. She laugh a lot and at the same time dropped a lot of knowledge.

feeling blessed.
