The women in my family :-)
Everybody says I do not look like my mom, and most of her friends will say that I look a lot like my father. Sometimes, I really wonder what difference would it make if my dad was there? I did not have a father who was there for me on my first day in school, who did not teach me how to ride a bike, who was not there when I first fell in love...So, what would it like to have a father? Well, I wish it would be the same love as my grandfather whom I loved a lot (even when he had many wives) gave me. It would be the same as my uncle whom is called "Hitler" by me :-) for his bossy attitudes yet gives me everything that my dad did not give me.
The women in my family?
I will start with my grandma :-). I think she is beautiful in her age, her hair are "pretty" white, her skin projects the good health she has, she dresses always neat and smells always good :-). I wish I will be as beautiful as she is when I get old! She is getting a bit weak now, also because of the small heart operation that she has. Everybody who goes to the park to exercise loves her, they can stay talking to her for hours, and most of them are in my mom's age. What is special about her? She loves and stays with my grandfather despite of all his adventures with other womens. She is the woman who stayed beside my grandfather in difficult times, and is the one who gave him more than child :-) (it takes love to have babies, no?). She is the image of a real traditional woman, who accepted the "men are head of family", husband and sons. She has her favourite niece yet insisting that she is fair :-). She is a strong and hard working woman. She is straightforward, and not afraid of anybody who challenges her.
My mom? I love her very much. You will probably say that which daughter would not love their mom, but the love that I have for my mom is a lot more than that. My mom is not a strong woman as my grandma. She is very sensitive and easy to get offended. She loves animals, and can be suddenly sad because they are not well-treated in VN. She is also shy, easy in trusting people. I think I do not look like her, but I heritage many of her good traits. She, unlike my grandma, knows how to forgive people and love them again. I asked last month when I was there if she is proud of me? :-) She said that she is except that I have not found someone to spend a lifetime with. I guess there are many things I like about mom, both of her marriages did not give her happiness, but she always tells me how beautiful love is. She says it is just her destiny, and mine or my sister's are different. I hope one day I will marry someone that loves my mom as much as I love his.
My aunt, younger sister of mom...Hmm, she is the greatest aunt I have! She is as strong as my grandma, but still as reasonable as my mom. In fact, she loves my mom a lot, I think like me, she try to protect my mom, she always comes up with ideas (sometimes can be quite silly) to help mom...Unlike mom and grandma, she has found her happiness (at least that is how it is right now). I wish I would be that happy when I get married. Of course, she and her husband do have their ups and downs, but I admire them for working things out, and over the year their love grows stronger. Probably that is how real love is all about. My aunt knows how to train a man for sure ;-P
My aunt, in Hanoi, haft sister of mom...She is also very old-fashioned, and tell me that staying over at a guy's place is not something I should ever do again. She is a SUPER good woman!! She cares for my grandma even she is not her real mom, and likewise my mom also cares for hers. She insists we move to Hanoi to stay close, and because of her, me and my sisters have plenty of cousins, nieces, nephews, yeah, big family..I remember when I was young, every time she came to Saigon with her sons, they are older, I would take my cousins around and told the other kids to be careful with me because my brothers would kick their ass :-)
My cousin in Hanoi? very good in business :-P, and she is a bit like my aunt, they endure their unfaithful husbands in this modern life. I really admire them.
My baby sister? Definitely knows what she wants, and how to get what she wants. She is also very strong but can be weak. She appears as a person who does not care much, but in fact she has a lot of love. She loves my mom and is my grandma's favourite niece. She is also hard working, a loving sister for me. And she drives Vnese guys crazy hehehehe
Quite some women, aren't they?
