On August 19, 2016
Three days after Anh Tin passed away, our family here in the US gathered together to join the larger family in Vietnam to offer prayers for the soul of Anh Tin, as well as for his family.

May the Lord bless Anh Tin and Keep him;
May the Lord let His Face shine upon Anh Tin and be gracious to him;
May the Lord look kindly upon him, and grant Anh Tin eternal peace.

May the Lord look with mercy upon his family and grant them strength
with faith eternal.
Amen.

Khoi biked 4,000 miles for cure of cancer cause.
May the Lord bless those with cancer.

Pray for us, Dad.

Dad,
Pray for Mom.
She is about to go into surgery tomorrow for her knee replacement.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

 

Happy Father's Day, Dad.
May the Lord bless you and keep you;

May the Lord let His Face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
May the Lord in His mercy bless your soul and grant you eternal Peace.



Missing you, Dad, this Memorial Day 2016

Memorial Day 053016

 

We gather at your grave this morning to pray.
Mom and all of your children, except for Huyen,

who is doing a mission in Vietnam, made it.

Anh Hung P and his family ran a little late,

so we started the rosary prior to their arrival.

 

We said the rosary together.
Chi Vy asked me to read a passage from my book.

I read the first passage, and it was about

your arrival back to our house in Saigon in March 1975.

I concluded, "It was our happiest day in Vietnam."

 

I also read a second passage.
It was the passage describing the time you were wounded.

Then I asked everyone to say a prayer for you, Dad.

The short meeting at your grave was simple,

but your memory lives on.

 

May the Lord bless you and keep you;

May the Lord let his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;

May the Lord look kindly upon you and grant you peace.

And in such peace, Dad, pray for us.
That God would bless us with happiness and peace in this life and next.
Amen.
