Ming, Hsin-Yu, and CJ

Erin met Hsin-Yu the first day she went to school here in Tucson 3 years ago. She was such a sweet girl and she invited Erin to her birthday party at the Melting Pot like a week or two after meeting her. They have been friends ever since. They only lived 1 short block away so I quickly became friends with her mom, Ming. The twins became friends with the younger brother CJ.
Ming has been so sweet to our family. She has taught Erin how to make Asian food, invited us over many times for lunch or dinner and to swim. When Ming quit working full time, she and I started walking, riding bikes, and going to the gym together.
As going away gifts, Ming made the twins blankets with their favorite things and the big kids pillows to use in the car. Then her husband took our two families to an Asian restaurant for lunch last Saturday. We had Dim Sum which was like bite size popular Asian dishes. So we got to try lots of different Asian foods that we had never had before. Eric, Erin, and Zach did a great job trying all the food. Nathan would only eat the sweet rolls that were filled with a custard like cream. I think he ate 4 or 5 of those.
Ming has been a great friend. She's the type of person that you could ask any favor and she would never say no. She's one of the people I will miss most from Tucson.
