Half a Donut and a Whole Lot of Faith: My MIL’s Legacy of Resilience (An Interview with Susanna Tam)
What do you do when your child is diagnosed with terminal cancer in a new country...and you can only afford to share half a donut for lunch?
When Dr. Wai Jia's mother-in-law Susanna immigrated from Hong Kong to Canada, she had no idea her 10-year-old son (now Dr. Wai Jia's husband) would be diagnosed with liver cancer…or that he’d survive a transplant, complete an Ironman, and later raise a family in Africa.
In this deeply moving episode, Susanna shares in her disarmingly light and joyful way:
Her journey from street kid to resilient matriarch
Why she never pitied herself, even during the darkest nights
How her childlike joy, simple faith, and radical generosity have shaped generations
The secret she learned that carried her through: “Don’t over-worry. Prepare and let God do the rest.”
