I'm honored to say that a few of our family members and friends proudly took part in the Womens March in Oakland this weekend, one of the sister marches to the Womens March on Washington. It was a fantastic experience for all, filled with incredible energy and an empowering sense of community.
If Cindy were here, she would have undoubtedly been at the March with us. She could very well have been at the one in Washington DC. Being at the March made me think of Cindy, and reminded me of times while we were at UCLA when she was involved in similar movements and campaigns.
I know that Cindy was smiling down proudly on all of us - not just our family and friends, but on the millions of people coming together to stand up for issues that are important to us.

Almost exactly a month ago, our family had the joy and honor of celebrating the wedding of our cousin Theresa, to her husband Josh. It was a simply beautiful day, filled with love, laughter, food, fun and family.
During the reception, many of us had a chance to catch up with Linh, who is good friends with Josh, and who was Cindy's boyfriend during high school and college. He is a teacher, happily married with two kids.
It was exciting to see him; and even better to hear that he and his family are doing well. It was also a little sad to see him too, since it made most of us think of times when he and Cindy were together.
Overall, it was a day all about love. I know that Cindy is smiling down on Theresa and Josh, Linh and his family, and all her loved ones, sharing in our happiness from above.
