This blog is to write down memories of Mom
- Uncle John said “Write. Write every day if you can.”
- All 4 of us kids have memories of Mom. Richard and I have the furthest back memories and experiences, which I am focused on writing about.
- Our Mom was very human. In this blog, I will attempt to explore events that illustrate her strength and courage, as a Chinese Mom, born during the Chinese Exclusion Act. and the Jim Crow Laws.

- I’m writing this very rough draft
- Richard and Kim plan to refine it and summarize the highlights.
- Contact us regarding changes.

Our Mom had emotions, which she hid very well, as a means of survival.
