In my childhood memories, my mom always took care of our family by cooking every day. I remember those mornings with shredded sweet potato congee with a sunny-side-up egg, and pickled vegetables. Mom used to pack our lunches too, which we’d steam at school. And when evening rolled around, she’d whip up multiple home-cooked dishes in the blink of an eye.
The morning after my birthday last November, I embarked on a visit to Jenny, the eldest sister of the Yang family, marking the beginning of an extraordinary project called Zero Distance. While it may seem like a mere task-oriented endeavor, its true purpose was to rekindle connections and continue the bonds with friends and acquaintances who once held a significant place in my life.
Ahboga had told me about this cool place called SAFE in Austin. It’s a truly heartwarming story of a family with big, big hearts who saves abandoned and often disabled animals, and then when they are ready, pairs them with humans often with special needs themselves. What ends up happening is pure magic, healing in the way that only unconditional love can.
I know that it might seem out of place to gush about a library here at Much Love Crew. We talk a lot about families, kids, and spreading love, and I can’t think of a more welcoming place for families.
老朋友，新夥伴。 She was once my roommate and witnessed my ridiculous youth, and she even taught me how to build my first website. I consider her family, and while we may not see each other much, she has always occupied a huge part of my life.
回德州一年了。Exactly one year ago, during the time of chaos around the world, we moved from Taiwan to Austin. A giant step for my family and me, we left the people we love and everything that we were familiar with and stepped into the unknown.
回到拉瓦卡港。All the best and worst memories of my adolescence are all right there!! But still… sometimes, I miss the beach, I miss the sea breeze, I miss the tight community bonded like a one big family.
