Oh, Kat. I can't even imagine what your mother must have had to deal with. And so many other moms as well. And the Vietnamese, who had no one to call, or write to, or help with arrangements. Your essay and audios bring it all to life. Thank you.
The more I review the year we had there, the more astonished I am at what my mother handled. And, yes, those who did not have anyone to rely on. I hold a few of those stories too--{heartbreak}. Thank you!
I'm glad you like the audio--I thought I'd try it and see how it went. I was surprised how the emotion caught at me while reading. I'm looking forward to reading your story again soon. Just stunning that you remember it all too.
Your writing is so alive with events that take us back. The bowling ball anecdote 👏👏👏
Thank you, Deb!! You made me feel like I've thrown a "strike!" :D :D :D
So moving Kat....of course brought tears to mine as well. Someone must tell this story....
Here, here!
...of course you have.....I mean on the big screen :)
Oh, yes, good clarification ;-}

How well I remember those days in March. Nobody knew what to do - go or stay. Another good post. I especially liked the audio.
