I have just realised that today is exactly 15 years since my mum and I left Vietnam.
Haven't returned since. Most likely can't return now.
Soon I will have spent more than half my life away.
April is the cruellest month.
PS: In 8 days, 30/4, is the 49th anniversary of the fall of Saigon.
I was in the U S Navy and partipated in the Easter Offensive on the gun line at the DMZ in Quang Tri Province for the better part of 1972. I hope that your new life the past 15 years has been good to you.
