I remember the Tosca, getting kicked out of Vesuvios, Hunan Homes for mui shu, and then I passed Kho&#8217;s &#8211; the tailor and drycleaners and there behind the counter was the woman whose children were always with her, he&#8217;s 20 now she says, OMG he looks just like his father, like Kho and she says, you think? everyone says that but I don&#8217;t see it, where did you go? Where didn&#8217;t I go I tell her, I moved to New Orleans to be by my mother who was ailing, she passed this last year, I adopted a boy, I left my husband of 16 years, I &#8230; well, I am okay now. I say you look exactly the same. She says thank you, on the outside, but inside I&#8217;m different, I&#8217;m changed, I&#8217;m stronger than the woman you knew. I said, me too.
