I can’t believe she’s 90…it’s amazing. Ba Noi was very much a 3rd parent when it comes to our primary caretakers growing up. She’s my “mah mah” like Mike’s mom is to my kids. I remember watching cartoons and how even though she barely new English or understood technology…she knows at 2PM is when my cartoons will start and would turn the dial on Ong Noi’s old-school TV for us to watch our shows. She would walk me to the bus stop in the mornings when we lived in San Jose and be at my stop to walk home with me everyday. She would make com chien with sugar and we’d always get in trouble for putting more soy sauce in it before tasting it. (It’s always too bland.) Man, I love her and am so happy she is still around!
