Noung Yow.
Wednesday, May. 23, 2007 @ 4:33 p.m.

I know it was her.

I was just at the Asian market and heard the voice of my Thai Grandmother. The woman whom I apprenticed myself to for a year to learn how to cook Thai food.

I know it was her.

I turned around just as she laughed her laugh, much joy in my heart.

"Noung Yow! Is that you???"

She looked at me as if Satan had just called her by name.

"Noung Yow doesn't live here, she lives in another town."

"I know, Alamogordo, I've tried so hard to find her! I used to cook with her at Lemongrass."

(I'm still convinced it was her.) She looked like Noung Yow, she LAUGHED like Noung Yow, and her voice sounded exactly like Noung Yow.

"Can I give you my number to give to her? Do you have her phone number?"

"No. I don't have it. I don't see her that often."

I feel heartbroken. I know it was her. We used to be so close. Then she had a falling out with our old boss right around the time I was relocating to Houston, and I've never been able to find her in the directory, and our old boss refuses to help me locate her. I can't figure out why she didn't want to talk to me. I'm sure I look so different. I feel like crying.
