...Nhờ sự quan tâm và lên tiếng mạnh mẽ của Bà cũng như mọi người trên khắp thế giới, vào ngày 17/10/2018 con và em đã được gặp lại mẹ. Lúc đó, chúng con rất vui sướng và hạnh phúc khi lần đầu được ôm trọn trong vòng tay ấm áp của mẹ sau một khoảng thời gian dài. Em con cứ sờ sờ lên khuôn mặt mẹ như muốn nói :"Thật hả, mẹ ơi đây là thật ư?"...

Dear Mrs. Melania Trump,
This is Bao Nguyen (aka Nam). I am the daughter of Nguyen Ngoc Nhu Quynh, (Blogger Me Nam). I am writing this letter to express my deep gratitude for you.
Because of your concerns and strong advocacy in unison with others around the world, on October 17, 2018 my little brother and I saw our mother again. At that moment, we were extremely excited and happy when we were embraced so warmly in our mother’s arms for the first time after her long absence. My little brother kept touching my mother’s face as if wondering: “Is this real? Is this really you, mommy?”
Our family was also fortunate to come to America, a land of freedom and peace where everyone interacts with one another in English, not Vietnamese. Here everything is different compared to our culture and lifestyles in Vietnam. I will get to go to a new school, to make new friends, to go to a new church … All this means that for my birthday this year, both my brother and I will have our mother with us again.
I could not do much other than express my sincere gratitude because what you have done for my family is beyond amazing. I would like to thank you and wish you and your family a peaceful Thanksgiving. Once again, I thank you so very much.
Sincerely,
Nguyen Bao Nguyen
