Now we are far apart, even though Ngân's promise to bring her mother to Canada for a visit remains. The day I took her to Ho Chi Minh City, boarding the plane with her husband, I never imagined it would be so far away. That day she cried a lot, and kept looking back until she disappeared behind the security gate. That farewell, a journey of a thousand miles, was a promise to return, a promise that her parents would visit Canada when the maple leaves change color.
