Thao,
I’ve only begun to take in your words but, already, I’m astonished by the beauty of your soul. The depth of your agony is pure and staggering but I’m enheartened because it MUST mirror the vastness of your capacity for love….
Thank you for your vulnerability.

Thao,
You have a way with words that conveys emotion extremely well. I’m sorry for your loss. I’m glad that you and Vu were able to reconnect in the past few years before he passed. Forlorn love can be painful, but it is often the most beautiful and treasured.
Thank you for sharing your experiences so openly.

Thao,
I discovered your writing after having bought the entire Asian book collection at Waverly in SF’s Chinatown in a manic haze. Clearly I was looking to reconnect with a heritage that was not so readily passed down to me by my parents, whom I love, and who carry their own battles. I had done some digging after reading the wonderful novel The Family Recipe by your friend Carolyn, and I guess you could say that I was still hungry for more reading.
Your writing, as well as Carolyn’s, are paving the way for the diaspora to further share our stories. Thanks for being a trail-blazer. Your words, vulnerability, and candor are awe-inspiring.
With gratitude,
An
