Theresa Bach Tuyet Thi Nguyen

She was there when you needed her. Truly a selfless, caring person. She shared our joy, our accomplishments, our sorrows, and everything in between.

My mother had a pure heart and has touched many lives that were lucky to meet her. She was closer to God than any tall trees, than any birds in the sky, than any tall mountains on this Earth. She taught us manners, integrity, morality, beliefs, but most importantly, she taught us love. To love our family. Family is most important.

My mother was diagnosed with a heart condition. Two valves failure to be exact. She was on medications every day. Constant pain and aches. Although her continual discomfort, she never showed any signs of frustration. Never had she taken it out on anyone. She would rather listen to your bad day than put concerns on her own health. Her resilient character makes me forget how weak she really is on the inside.

As heart broken as I am, I know she is in a better place. No more pain. No more sorrow. God has finally want his angel back. As tears running down my eyes as I write this, I can’t help but reminisce the wonderful years I had with her. She gave me a sense of home that no one can replicate. She was delicate and adorable on the outside, but tenacious and mighty on the inside. I will forever hold onto our memories, like a luminous light to carry me through this life. Her perpetual smile and rare nature will never be forgotten. Who was Bach Tuyet Nguyen? She was my mother, still is, until the end of time. I love you mom.
