Terri Dora Wong looks like a work of art on any given day. As a fashion desinger and restorer of vintage items, for Terri, it is never even the chicest of jeans; it is always the most glamorous of Chinese fashion whether she has created it from scratch or redisgned something existing.
The miracle is not just her artistic genius but that she survived years of extreme maternal abuse and her gifts were not buried under a mountain of the misery heaped on her. How she came to understand her mother’s own tormet is a lesson in what it takes to forgive, a tribute to Terri’s fortitude and a tale worth hearing for the strength it may give others who face parental maltreatment.
Terri’s father spent his last three years of life with her; it was a chance to know him unhindered by her mother’s behavior. The letter she wrote, yes, to her father, is a thing of beauty, threads woven together in a stunning tapestry like everything else Terri creates.
Oh, and should you think for an instant that this is all there is, as if that would not be enough, there is one more layer of huge talent. Terri is an opera singer. Yes. And, even now years after she stoppped performing on stage in order to take care or her father, she still has her full range and sings for her own pleasure. Sometimes with her birds. Yes.
For an amazing journey into her life it is best to hear her story and her letter in her own voice. To watch her up close on her Love Leters Live Youtube is a whole other dimension of Terri’s glamour, perfection, and art right before your eyes.
