So we found where my mom, aunts, uncle and grandparents used to live! All eight of them...in this
TINY one bedroom/one bathroom home. "There was a small family room, dining room, bedroom, kitchen, mezzanine area where all the kids slept and courtyard for the chickens," one of my aunts said.
That's it. My great grandma lived next door. My dad and his family lived down the street (we weren't sure which one it was).
My Aunt Thuy accesses the situation. "We used to have a front yard!" she commented. My mom and other aunts wouldn't get out of the car for fear that neighbors who still live in this hood would start swarming them.
After my family fled during the war, the Commies took it over and turned it into one of their offices...which it still is today.
insane. puts things in perspective, indeed. come home for hugs and kisses.
ReplyDeleteTheir home became a Distict office of the Communist Party,that make them afraid of coming down to visit.
