treasures!
I recently went through a batch of old photographs my maternal grandfather left behind in Vietnam at my cousin’s house. These are such moving and precious portraits and snippets of my grandparents, mother, and uncles. Here are some lovely ones that I want to share.

This photograph dates back to 1963! My grandparent with my mother in the middle (the only girl in a family with six boys) and my four other uncles. My other two uncles were not in this picture.

My mom with her brothers and nanny. Undated picture, but I estimate that it was photographed in 1966.

Undated picture, probably in 1960 or 1961. My mom and my uncle. When I emailed my siblings this picture to show her, she gleefully shared that she was eating a banana. She has been reminding me to bring all these photos back to her.

A photograph of my dashing uncle! My mom’s oldest brother.

A beautiful shot of my beautiful mother in the ’70s.

My resilient and beautiful grandmother in her 30s.
