Thinking about mother's day made me miss my grandma. I really want to go visit her. But it's hard finding the right time because of this never-ending conflict that's going on. But I won't let it get to me. I'm just waiting on my mom to feel better so we can all go because grandma's all the way in Missouri, and it's better when there's a big group of us and not just me and whoever visiting her. I got teary eyed when I was cooking eggs for my daughter the other day. I remembered back then when my parent's were visiting Laos for one whole month and my grandma flew from Massachusetts just to babysit us. We were young kids and had no chauffeur at the time, so our aunts and uncles were supposed to come weekly to buy us groceries, but I remembered they only came once or twice. But we were hungry and there was only one egg left. So our grandma asked if we wanted to eat scrambled eggs. Knowing there was only one egg left, I asked, "Grandma, who are you cooking the egg for?? And she was like, "Neb mas," and I'm like, "What? One egg isn't going to be enough for all of us?" Then my grandma said, "Txaus neb noj mas, saib kuv ua auv!" -And she's smiling like she's going to do some magic to the egg. So she cracks the egg and scrambles it, and then she walked over to the rice cooker and grabbed all rice that we had left and threw it in the skillet and made fried rice. That was my first time ever eating homemade fried rice. It was sooo delicious and fulfilling. Ever since then, that memory will always be in my heart because this little old lady was able to take care of us even when we didn't have much food left in the fridge. Gosh, I miss her='(
I have to go somewhere now,... so I'll post more of my recent photos up later!!
