Springtime in the Australian Outback
Spring in the beautiful Australian wilderness. I chose this photo from my collection because the flowers there are rather hardy and resilient in their fight for survival, somewhat like my mother. My mother and I tried to flee Vietnam to meet my Dad, who was already here in the US. However, we got separate and she was left behind. It took my mother almost 5 years to be reunited with me here in the States. During those times she had to endure hardships to try to escape from a Communist Government. She was jailed for months at a time, many times for trying to leave. But she never gave up and finally made it over here. I was 8 when I finally saw my mother again after almost 5 years of being separated. I am so thankful to have a mom who fought tooth and nail to be with me again.
