Sometimes when he goes to far away to sing, he sees him off to the airport and then comes back with his children to learn martial arts, go to the lake to slide. My husband taught everything and I was a housewife, taking care of the family besides singing. Later when he retired, we bought a 12-acre garden in Binh Phuoc and an apartment in An Phu Dong, TP. My husband stayed to take care of the garden while I lived in the US, sometimes returning to Vietnam to sing.

In recent years, my health was not good, so my husband followed me to the US. On occasions when I went to perform far away, he also followed.
