Talking about the sudden letter that rekindled old stories, Thanh Thao added: "This is a status sharing a mother's feelings with those who care and admire her. Those who don't care don't necessarily need to read and leave comments that are like that."

Jacky still reads and writes Vietnamese with his grandmother, but only simple sentences. Sentences that need to convey the full meaning for his child to understand must be in English.
