Very interesting story. Good for you that you still have a father to visit. As for me I have never seen my father’s face or even picture of him. We came to America when I was 2 or 3 years old too. But we came a bit earlier than yours. You can say we are probably the first few planes to America. We arrived in Wausau Wisconsin in October 31 1972. Then our sponsor moved to Appleton following is job as a Pastor in 1981. So we followed him to Appleton. Ever since we never moved.
It’s great that you still have a story to tell but as for myself never see my father face never know how he look like he passed away when I was about a few months old I am raised by my mom and my brother and my mom left me when I was six years old all my life I’ve been raised by my big brother he put his guidance to me and he take me everywhere he goes I am appreciate that my older brother is like a father to me but I just want to tell you that it is good that you still have a story to tell to the world And you still get to meet your Real father they gave birth to you to tell your story
May you explained why it took so long to reunited with your dad? Did you just lose contact like no one knows where he is or if he's still alive until your half sister found you? Sorry if you already explained that, and I missed it. I'm just curious. Thank you brother Cher Peek. ❤
We were in the camp too my dad left to get more people into the camp and we lost him for a while too but I’m glad he made it back to us. Now I lost him in America to cancer... wish I still have him around to call dad. Be happy u still have him.😭😭😭
We all have a story to tell, Im the youngest of all my 3 sisters, my mother still 7 months pregnant with me, my father passed away before I was born. Never having a glimpse of him in this life, just blurry black and white photos. Your story brought tears and tugged at my heart. Thank you... you’re right “must have a box of tissues near by” ❤️
You're so lucky to find your dad, I cry watching your video. My father was missing in action during the Vietnam war I was 3 years old parts of me still missing all these years I hope you and your father to be continue! Thank you
Did you eventually regret ignoring your sister’s message for years???? I don’t know why some people would do that. If I get that kind of message I would be very intrigued. I didn’t know you have this channel and I cried so bad when you finally met your family. Thanks for sharing.
May God Bless us hmong people who were in so much pain that we had to sacrifice our lives so our new generations can live happier lives. Now we are in a better place now (USA). May Hmong Hlub Hmong and May others hlub Hmong. Good or bad, I know there’s a soft spot in our heart that shows we all love and care about each other very much. God bless us and god bless other races too. This is just one of our stories and many more to come.

Wow...what a story. I have so many questions. Hopefully you'll open up a Q&A. Where is your mom and why didn't she make the journey with you? How did your half sister know it was you to reach out to you?...so many questions. Can't wait for part 2!
Why did you left your country without your parent? I've watched part 1&2 but you didn't mention why you come to thailand and USA without them. Hope you respond to my questiont. I was watching you guys w tears..
At the beginning of this video, he said his father went back to Laos, and he did not come back to the refugee camp. His mother and other family members decided to come to America since they did not know if his father was still alive or not.
I would be lost for words, I wouldn't know what to say or what to ask & i would be crying so much if i was you. Watching this made me cry even though i didn't go through your situation. Great video.
As promised, I’m watching and I’ve subscribed. 4 minutes in and I’m already tearing up! I’m anticipating the waterworks already. I’ve lost both of my parents and there have been countless times that I wished they were just far away or lost and we’d eventually reunite. Sadly, that will never happen. Looking forward to the rest of this video and Part 2.
Also, how’d your dad end up in that province? Why was he gone for so long after he left back to Laos? What’s your mom’s story? Did she remarry and where did she raise you? Soooo many questions that I hope will be answered in part 2.
For some reason I knew you were going to stop right b4 you meet your biological father! 😭😭😭😭😭 can't wait for part 2, hurry! I'll be waiting with my box of tissue
Hmong have a saying...if the mountain land and seas separated us than one day we will see each other again. But if you are cover under dirt then we will never see each other again..that's why no matter how far or near your father is you will go and meet him..I Guarantee you that those of us who lost our father if he is still alive we will go and find him no matter were he would live in this world.
peek, before you met your father, you have all these question in your head and wanted to know the reason why, but i'll tell you, as soon as you see your father, your questions no longer needed it, because your heart knows the answer within him is saying already... i know how it feels to not have a father in your life, because my dad left me when i was young too, now i do everything i can for my son, so he'll never have to experience the feelings i went through.. i so happy for your reunion with your dad.
I followed from FB. I loved reuniting stories. Our nephew passed away in Thailand about 2 weeks ago. He was born and left behind while my bil was poisoned and died over there. It sad that we only got to talk on FB but not video chat. I hope you can bring your dad here permanently. He is your blood family so do the process with INS. If my cousin can do it for both her parents then you can too.
Im very very excited i wanna watch part 2.....i am so happy for..u.........so long...until u finally saw ur dad....after 33 years ....omg...i watch ur video i started to cry....its sad...n happy
Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you for sharing such heart fill moments with your father. My emotions was getting the best of me as well. Especially seeing your beloved friend who has pass on. I couldn't hold back my tears....
I followed you on FB and saw this when you took your trip to Thailand and cried happy tears for you. Today as I watch it again I’m still 😭. Thanks for uploading this on RU-vid. ❤️
So glad you took this journey to meet your dad brother! Watching this...made me cry so much!!😭😭 Thanks for sharing this beautiful journey with us all! Will be waiting for part two!😊❤❤🖒🖒
I’m so glad that your family has found your father. I wish you, your family, and your father with enormous health and happiness. ❤️ Can’t wait to see part 2.
Why some families are left behind or separated? Easy and simple!! The message from Vang Pao was: i left to seek refuge til things sorted it out...i will be back!! Whole bunch of peoples buys into that message!! In reality, Laos was never our country or land...once the war was over the line already drawn... And peoples today still peddling that false message: Laos is our country!! Folks, Laos is not our country or land...your country or land is back in Hunan/Yunan/Honghe, China!! Yes...its a sad story, but there are still whole bunch of dumbasses that make it worst!!
Do we all not feel sad for the hurt the laotian communist did to us. All this n hmongs still cant unite. If we hmongs brotgers unite from being torn by other nations we hmong will griw very strong.
