First one until he joined the air force @ age 20.

Third one brought over from Thailand to join his mother @ age 14. Couldn't speak a word of English - now in his 2nd year of college in Vegas (Straight A's). Has been costing me $300.00 per week for an English tutor for the past 5 years and will continue for at least 2 more. Today is his 21st birthday and we are ALL going out to dinner &
DRINKS tonight along with his tutor.
Btw, thanks for asking! ... and just for the record, and to reiterate what I posted above, I have absolutely NO SYMPATHY for f/a's that whine about their job and lack of seniority, and when it comes to DACA --- NO-body helped my son come to America. It took thousands of dollars and 2 years of paperwork, before he could join his mom. He came in the front door and in F/C on United, I might add!
My point being, that in order to support my
families (1st wife died at age 60) I had to work hard, and NO it wasn't easy, nor glamorous!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHANCHAI!!!
