{ ::Simplyvonne:: }: Happy Retirement To My Parents!

Mom with Kaylee



With my sisters and and sister in law




Two babies of the family

What we call our home now wasn?t easy to begin with. My father was taken away from our family to a concentration camp where he was tortured and punished by the communist during the Vietnam War. Since my father scarified for his country we had the opportunity to go overseas and start a new life in America, the land of new opportunities.
My?oldest sister was left behind with her family in Vietnam and was not able to start a new journey with the rest of our family because her husband and children were not allowed to come. My parents envisioned a new beginning and to achieve a life that they have always dreamt of.
In 2008, our family was reunited again. My oldest sister made a journey for herself to start a new life with her children and husband in America.?
It?s been two decades since our family made the biggest decision to start a new life. My parents didn?t know English, but was able to find jobs that paid enough to have a sustainable life.Service jobs that paid little, but required a lot of work, my parents stuck it through to give their children a life that they never had. They wanted their kids to live out their dreams and accomplish goals and to have success.?20 years have passed that they have solely been dedicated to their children. New things were foreign to them just so they can give their kids a new set of clothes for school. Until this day they would do anything for their children.
My parents recently retired from their jobs and now able to fulfill a peaceful life of no worries. The kids are grown now and are so thankful for everything. Now it?s our turn to take care of them.
Happy retirement to my parents, thank you for everything you have done for us!
