They came from different backgrounds, growing up halfway around the world, before meeting in New York.
A few years later, they had a kid who knew instinctively how to give a fierce side-eye, even as a baby.
They studied and worked while caring for me.
And (sometimes unwanted) protection
They are examples of what I hope to be. (Taken at my Father's law school graduation.)
They are not afraid to pose for goofy pictures when I ask.
Mommy even dances with me, even though neither of us have an iota of talent in that area.
But they also clean up nicely.
In short: they are the best. Happy anniversary, Mama and Papa Teng. Glad I chose you to be my parents when I was a little angel flying around.
