Uncle Rob and Mona wanted to take my parents out to the Misono Grill in West Roxbury for some Korean short ribs. Uncle Dave kinda invited himself. Just teasing, all were welcome. I was supposed to go but ended up in NYC to see the musical Spiderman: Turn off the Dark. It was an amazing show and I totally recommend it but I digress.....anyways, it was great to get the Chin Bros. together - sorry John couldn't make it. Renee was also there and took the picture below. My mom wanted me to express her thanks to everyone for taking the time out of their busy schedule to spend time with her. She was very happy and hopes to do it again.
I wish I was there to listen to the stories of my dad growing up with his brothers. I understand our family was poor and the brothers made do with what they got. And it sounded like it wasn't the most nurturing and loving environment (that's an understatement!) but it made them tougher and stronger. The trials and tribulations my dad and Uncle Rob had to go through in China to be where they are today - unfathomable for us to imagine. I hope to capture some of their stories on this website to share some day. But for now, it's all about Becky! But here's a salute to the two older Chin brothers. Thank you for not letting your traumatic childhood affect your outlook today. You guys could've been bitter and mean based on the events that happened - being homeless at a young age, illness, physical abuse, etc. Yet, the both of you are always the first to laugh at yourselves, and make others laugh around you. You guys are generous, well when you have $$ and love to have your kids nearby. Who knew the family man would come out later in life!! Hey, it's never too late and we love you for it.
