I wanted to take the time to thank Eshai Yang and her wonderful family. Despite their own troubles in preparation for a funeral, they took the time to help and support us as we navigate this week's murky waters. Thank you so much for your solidarity and comprehension. It has been a true privilege not only to serve your beautiful family, but the whole Hmong community. One of you said today "we are all immigrants" and its very true, in you I see my brothers and my sisters, and the unity which founds the American dream. The reason why my father found comfort after leaving all he knew to give us a better life. The reason why he worked tirelessly despite a long naturalization journey. The reason why we don't give up. We will finish the day with a sense of hope and love of neighbor. God Bless!
"Protect us Lord as we lay awake, watch over us as we sleep, that awake we may keep watch with Christ and asleep, rest in his peace."
