My 81-year-old mother came to the US in 1999, just after
Christmas. It was almost midnight when their plane arrived
at Sea-Tac. That night, we stayed at Pastor Wu's daughter's
home. Early next morning, I saw Pastor
Wu and his wife looking in from outside the windows.
I went out to greet them, then went to check mother. Mother
was still sleeping. Her hair thin, her body curled, she looked
incredibly small, but she was sleeping soundly, without concern
and without worries.
When I was a child, I must have slept like that.
When I was a child, my mother must have watched me the way I was
watching her that frosty winter morning. In her heart, she
must have also pledged to herself that she would watch me, forever.
