My father was a soldier that fought to protect his family and friends during the Khmer Rouge. As he left by the end of the Khmer Rouge, to save himself from being slaughtered by the government. while he left, he was married to my mother now, as they traveled together from Cambodia, to hide in Thailand then drifted slowly to the United States of America landing in Georgia. As they settled in Georgia for a couple of years, they decided to shift westward to California with a couple of the family members and settled in the city of Van Nuys. Shortly after the big earthquake in 1994, we've moved to live at the city of North Hills.While we had several hard things to overcome, like how my sister challenged my grandmother's ideology upon Black/African American people. Although it took many years to change her mind; we've found tranquility.
