What can I say about my dad? He's been through a lot for his family. He wanted a better life for his daughters so he started planning to escape Laos in the early 1980's. He saved up money for a year before we left Laos. He took his family through the refugee camp. And finally to the U. S.
He's determined, smart, stubborn, hard worker, and committed to his family.
He doesn't know all the "social norms", chews with his mouth open, and wears his socks up to his knees. He only likes to eat at buffets, and his daughter is the opposite:-) I used to be embarrassed by him when I was younger, but I have learned that what other people think , it doesn't matter.
He is most happy when both of his daughters are visiting him. He doesn't need extravagant gifts. Just simple gestures.
He definitely is not perfect. We have had our moments:-) But I love him and admire him. Happy Father's Day, my Papa.
