1 Hurry up children, your ong ngoai must be hungry by now, Mother called
out from the front room of our family home in Tay Ninh, Vietnam. She had
carefully placed steam rice, fry chicken and vegetables in each compartment of the
lunched rack, all set to be delivered to ong ngoai, our grandfather. My father, a
staff sergeant with the Philippine Air Force, worked as a surgery technician for
eight years and had married Mother, a locally girl. Because of his work, he was
away from home for weeks at a time. Mother was a house wife who took great care
of Trang and me. She gave us the day noontime job of taking lunch to our
grandfather, who lived alone in a small rented apartment.

3 I was six years old. Trang, my sister, who was eight years older, was
helping me get dressed. I was excitement at the thought of getting out of the house.


4 Mother, ever-concerned, recited her list of reminders as she always did
every day: Stay on the side of the road. Look both ways before crossing the street.
Dont stop to talk to strangers. Come back straight to the house after you have
delivered the food. Do not stop anywhere along the way. Run along now.

5 So hand in hand, with Trang carrying the lunch rack, we scurried one block
down the road to our grandfathers place. He was a retired judge and I was happy to
see him every day. It was he who gave me my first cac (the equivalent of cents at
that time).
