To See Snow Again!

It was an emotional experience for Father to see snow again in the winter of 1972. When the family lived in Nanking before the communists came and forced our family to escape to Taiwan in 1949, my Father was familiar with snow every winter. We were certainly among the “privileged”. I remember that I was picked up from school by a sedan when snow came and it was cold outside. The sedan was provided by Father’s working place in Chiang Kai Shek’s government. In Taiwan, there is no snow. So Father had not  experienced winter time since ‘49. After twenty some years, when he saw snow in Tennessee, he said that he had not imagined that he would ever see it again in his life-time, especially in the USA!!!, of all places in the world. We had to take some pictures to remember this! The following were taken in our front and back yards in Tennessee.father-winter-2father-winterfather-winter-3
