A EMOTIONAL STORY THAN THE NOVEL
TRUE COLLECTIVE STORIES BETWEEN NORMAL LIFE
This is a very touching story that I asked for translation by google from Vietnamese to English, so it may not be perfect, sorry, I send it to you now:
Even close friends know very little that I have a adopted daughter, simply because I have not raised Dao every day but Dao calls me mother - adoptive mother, and I am happy for that.
I met Dao one day in the middle of 2008, she went to the office to meet me to register for free dental facial surgery with a group of Surgicorps from the United States, a time when I sent this message to AIT Alumni VN. (AIT Alumni Association in Vietnam), a friend in France informed the family members in Vietnam that a friend of Dao then took me to see me. I was stunned when I met Dao for the first time with a half-burned face and a hand that was no longer there, but she did not hesitate to face it but was very confident, always looking straight at me while talking. I asked Dao that in my heart was filled with pity.
Dao was born into a poor family with many children in Binh Dinh. Rural areas in Vietnam often have the custom of burning hot coal for mothers after birth, but they believe that it will be good for pregnant women and babies, Dao will also be charred in that way. When less than a month, my mother let me lie in a hammock below burning a pot of embers, that day only for a moment my mother left me to go to the yard to get water, when someone heard the cry of the house, she could not expect my child My youngest young girl, who is only 28 days old, never knew how to turn out of her hammock and lay on a potted pot like a metaphysical hand because there was no one in the house at the time. The child struggled in the coal, burned off one side of his body, burned all the left fingers and one side of his face, he was taken to the emergency hospital, due to his necrosis, he had to cut his left arm near the elbow. Only after a period of treatment, the hospital also gave up and returned her home to wait for death. But I did not die, I kept shaking my death to live.
Growing up with physical pain turned into scars all over her face and a part of her body, her eyes and mouth cringed so much that she could not open her mouth, her arms could not stretch, but by the age of 7 she Only to realize their difference through scornful eyes, through teasing, ridicule of friends, and so on, I lived in humiliation until I was 22 years old.
On that day, through the radio, I learned that there was a group of American doctors who came to Vietnam for free cleft lip and cleft palate surgery in Quy Nhon and she immediately set out despite the expiration of registration. The chief, surgeon, Dr. Frank Walchak and Carolyn his wife, the surgery nurse from Spokane, right from the first time they met her, her pleading gaze plunged into their compassion and like two guardian gods, they realized my mission.
Frank knew not only one surgery, he needed several surgeries to improve her face and they decided to find ways to get her to America. After two years of trying to apply for a visa and doing procedures to prepare for Dao, the couple and the lenient doctor brought her to the United States. Nine months with them and many painful surgeries, her face improved significantly, where she was always regarded as the youngest daughter in the family with two loving sisters. "I learn English, learn to drive and ski even with only one hand, they love me and always consider me as a normal person. I'm shy because everything is so strange because this is the first time I stepped out of the village, not to mention going out of the border. These beautiful souls have gathered here to bring to life miracles. But anyway, the day comes when I have to go home and face my own life".
When I met Dao, she underwent 7 surgeries, her face improved even more but the scars were still tangled, her eyes and mouth were still pulled apart. After returning from the US, Dao was determined from Binh Dinh to Ho Chi Minh City to apply for a job and study English and accounting at night. At that time my work was really difficult and harsh. Not only worrying about himself, Dao still had to sell lottery tickets at Bach Dang wharf, about VND 50,000 each night to send to his parents in the countryside.
On the first morning when the Surgicorps team just landed, while waiting for check in at the Majestic Hotel, they had to check up for Dao and some other patients, regardless of the time zone difference and not eat or drink. That afternoon, they started to work immediately, Dao was the case for blood tests that afternoon and they decided to have surgery the next day because they wanted to have 1 week of postoperative treatment for them before they returned home. . In the evening, Dao called me in a very bewildered voice: "I said I could not operate tomorrow because the landlady did not allow me to leave. Actually, it is very difficult for me to choose or lose my job or to have surgery, but I need many more surgeries to improve my face, every occasion like this is a golden opportunity for me." I just told her to ask for permission and present it closely to the landlady, if it is not possible and then out of her job, call me, believe that I will help her.
That year my company also registered for Toan, a male employee who was the head of the air ticket office, had surgery on one side of the nose, congenital anomaly due to her mother's flu during pregnancy. I visited them immediately after the surgery was completed and gave gifts to all patients on that occasion. It was very touching to see American doctors in the postoperative room carry each child to comfort and give gifts to the children so that they could not worry and suffer. Toàn moved to tell me: "when I opened my eyes, the first person I saw was Dao sitting next to me, she made a lemonade and waited for me to wake up to let her drink, even though she had only had surgery not long before you"." The story I never forgot, I knew that behind Dao's flawed face was a kind heart.
A week after Dao called me, I cried: "I were fired, dear", without hesitation I said "As soon as you recover, go to the company to meet me" even though I did not know then. Can something work? Taking Dao into the company of course because of my decision, no one stopped but seeing the eyes of some staff I know Dao will not be easy when working here, but luckily Dao has always protected and have been close since she and Toan had surgery in the hospital.
Surprisingly, even though she has not been educated, Dao is very smart and hardworking, regardless of what is handed over, it will be best done, even with the latest accounting software, I will catch it very well, fast. Every day I still run my motorbike with one hand, do everything with one hand but it doesn't make me shy regardless of anything. I quietly worked without complaining, when I found out that she was being forced and questioned, she said, "No problem, I just let myself solve it." I also asked to call me "mother" from that day, She said "Because my mother gave birth to my second child".
You have become such an office worker!
On that occasion, Frank & Carolyn Walchak went to charity surgery in China to learn that Dao had a good job at EVIVA, they immediately flew to Vietnam to do a job to thank me. "Oh my God, can you believe it ???" that day, Mr. and Mrs. Dao came to share a room in the hotel and invited me to come, look at how Mr. and Mrs introduced Dao to everyone like my daughter proudly without being confused by the curious curiosities, I was deeply moved. I told them, "The one who needs to be thankful today is grandparents, from a distant country who come here, love and bear a poor and disabled girl of mine, a Vietnamese person cannot do that. ”But they insisted that I was the one who completely changed Dao's quality of life and work. It's great that in my life I can meet such people.
I always tell stories about mental strength that will bring wonders to encourage and encourage Dao to dream of happiness like others and never give up his dream. I know Dao tried his best but not sure if he believed the stories I told her, he said that he never dared to dream of having a family like everyone else.
Then one summer day two years later, Dao timidly told me the story of having a dentist in Mr. and Mrs. Walchak's Rotaplast group, having met Dao for the first time since she was a little girl in Poor homeland Binh Dinh, he used to encourage her, talk to her online, now he goes to Danang and wants to date her. Dao asked if I should go and worried if I would be taken advantage of? At that time, I honestly told Dao, "you have nothing to be taken advantage of, if he wants to come to you, it can only be an extremely loving and compassionate heart. That is the gift of heaven and earth to you. "
Indeed Dr. Michael French is such a person, the guy came to me at EVIVA office and then an intimate dinner at my house with the witness of my hushand and me, the guy embraced Dao with rare sincerity. Yes, saying that Dao is the most beautiful girl and he is always proud to go with Dao. I understand that fairy tales can always happen between everyday life, Dao has lived with sincere, filial, kindness and relentless heart, she deserves to be happy like the fairy tales but I read it as a child.
Now Dao has become the mother of two lovely angels, Michelle 6 and Mitchell, 4, her family living in Murphys, California, USA. It was amazing that when she went to the US for only a few years, she could just finish her study at Columbia College with excellent results, and raise two very caring children, and drive every day to school and work by myself. accountant at her husband's Dental Clinic (Safari Smiles Dental) at Sonora. Every year, her family returns to Vietnam to visit her mom in VN and to orphanages, my dental examination, to give gifts to the children as a gratitude to my life.
A coincidence, apparently all of a sudden has actually caused it, on a flight to Hanoi in April 2017 I sat next to Van Nu Quynh Tram, she directed a documentary about abuse "Step Through the Dark" sex, a film won the national television festival gold award in 2017. I have told the story of Dao for Tram sounding like a sharing about the magic of life, Tram asked me that allow to make a film about Dao, but it took 6 months for me and her to convince Dao to agree to put his story on the film. I said to Dao, "Your story can inspire and help everyone like you, give them faith in life like you used to live, everyone has the right to be happy if they know that happiness is in their hands".
