Today is the day we all have come to expect. It's sad and I cried more than I did before. Four hours after being on the road heading for Tucson, I was notified that Dad left all of us to join God in Heaven.
Although I left Houston, I am satisfied that Dad is okay with me leaving early and he understood my reasoning. About Dad, the only thing and the one last thing I can share with each and everyone of you is....Dad, Cau 5 to most of you, was the most generous man you will ever meet. He made numerous sacrifices for his kids that I could have imagined from one person. I still remember in the cold dark winter nights in St Louis and driving him to work. He would always offer to buy me anything I wanted eventhough he only had 20$ a week for lunch. Although he was short tempered, but he loved and cared for everyone whom he came in contact with. In short, he was the finest man I know and will ever know.
I am sure you all will agree. We are all hurt now because he stopped breathing and left all of us. But we each must face the reality that we have expected this inevitable moment to come. We can only pray for him now and hope that God will take him fishing.
We also want to comfort Co^ 6 because it's tearing her up. Co^ 6 has lots of traits that are closer to Dad. That makes her very special to all of us. Please, if you are near Co^ 6, tell her I love her and I wish I can be there to comfort her. Co^ 7 is a strong lady. And it shows through the strength of Trung, Thu, Son, Ha, Tram, Susie. Co 7 is hurt deep inside but she doesn't show it. Her kids (our cousins) are very devastated by this ordeal.
It's time to unselflessly extend our sympathy and love to one another. Not only in our immediate family, but more importantly, the families of Co 6, Co 7, and Co Lisa.
Hao.
