They are all married and each has two children. Besides my eldest sister, the others are spread out over the country. One is in Hanoi, one is in Nha Trang and two others are in Saigon. They often come home to share the Tet holiday with my parents so my family is always very crowded then. My mother and my sisters are always busy cooking meals for the whole family. They are surely very tired but my mother is very happy. She often says that it is great to be near our children and grandchildren to see how they grow up. I love my family very much and Tet is a wonderful time for me too. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. .
