Today, July 10th, 2007.
This year, Tina becomes even more distant. She stays away when she enters a new relationship. This time, it’s with Sonny.

Tina has a way to show her coldness to me, and I’m really tired of trying to reach out. Lately, I just observe and pray she doesn’t get into troubles. Everyone of us chose our path, and we are ultimately responsible for our own decision and action. And pay for it.

Maybe she will change in a few years. Like Eric did.

Do all children break their mother’s heart? Both Eric and Tina have given me much emotional pain. Why is it that Hung doesn’t feel the same way? Actually, he’s cool about the whole thing. He keeps reminding me to think back when I was growing up, and to not look at just the negative things. Hung keeps me grounded. Without him, I would probably be institutionalized. But again, I almost got institutionalized living my first 15 years with him …

I didn’t get Tina anything for her birthday. Qua’ met-moi …
