Hi Jane, This is a fascinating story that I will share. It makes me think of Vietnamese acquaintances and wonder about their stories. One in particular is Fr. Peter, who was at Holy Spirit Parish in Carroll for a while,and a good friend of my parents. Thank you.

Thanks to Jessica for taking time and energy to recount the details. It could be a journey that a person would just want to leave behind, but one that is important to pass forward.

Thank you for sharing Jessica's story on your platform, Jane. And thank you, Jessica, for your story. To most Americans, the journey immigrants make from their homes to the life we take for granted (and shouldn't) is almost unfathomable. That's why these stories are so important to share. Their resilience against all odds and their belief in their future are deeply American virtues.

I'm so happy I reconnected with Jessica after all these years and I was able to tell her story.
