When I was young, I had two friends that I love them very much... one boy - his name's Thao (nickname Cu Tư) and one girl - Lan Huong.Cu Tu lives near my house, and we play together very funny. We grew up together with the young happiness. Some games such as "blind man's buff", "hide and seek", "follow-my-leader", etc... became universal games for all children in the neighborhood. In the evening without electric (my country where I lived still had not electric before 1990) , we all together crowded and played under the moonlight. That's the most peace and quiet moment in my life... Cu Tư went away but there was not any comment for me because we were very young at that time. He was 9 years old and I'm younger than him one year. He along with his family immigrated to USA. And then my family also left the hometown 3 years later thereabout. His family had returned Vietnam and visited my family, but without him, and maybe he didn't remember me, one his small friend...And about Lan Huong, she's same my old. She's very beautiful I think... We both were the monitors of each class. We could share our sadness and happiness together. Her house is very far from mine, so we just played at school through my schoolwork and outdoor activities. Then she also left me away... Her circumstance looks like Cu Tư's, her parents took her to USA. I'm very disappointed when I heard that information. I knew that I would lose a friend more... At that time, my country's still poor and lack of mass media. We couldn't contact together by phone or email .. We could write letter to keep touch.. but I didn't know why we couldn't do. Maybe we didn't have time and money and knowledge to send a letter at the post office. You know, I was really stupid because I lived a poor countryside and very far from city.After that, we grew up following our life. I haven't had any information from them. I don't know each of them has ever thought about me or not. I wish we will have a change to meet again and share together childhood memories...I miss you all.
