This January, the couple of calendar photo queen Diem My and businessman Ha Ton Duc celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary. Organizing the wedding ceremony in 1994, the female artist was at the peak of her career while businessman Ha Ton Duc was in the early stages of career development in Vietnam, after returning from abroad.
After getting married, Diem My spends a lot of time taking care of her small family, fulfilling the natural duty of being a mother. The couple has 2 daughters, Ha Thuy My (1995) and Ha Que My (2000), who currently live and work in Vietnam after graduating from university in the US.
Diem My and her husband are quite secretive about family matters. Both believe that they want to keep these sacred things for themselves, protecting the peace of the members.
Looking back at the journey she has gone with her husband, Diem My said she feels lucky and grateful. At the peak of her career, choosing to retire to take care of her family sometimes made Diem My worried. However, she also deeply understands the value of family for herself, the common development of both, so she does not feel regretful about anything in her choice.
Conversely, when having a solid and happy family, Diem My is even more assured of working in the profession later when returning. Even a fulfilling life helps the calendar queen feel free and comfortable in all choices in the future. “I think the happiness and freedom I have in my career, besides my own efforts, also comes from the family background” - Diem My said.
The calendar queen and her husband also share a common view of family strength, because this is also the foundation for children to develop. According to her, having a happy family nurtures the children's souls, creating solid first steps for children. Diem My hopes that parents will be a source of inspiration for their children to have complete happiness later.
Diem My shared that she and her husband have a minimalist lifestyle. In addition to work, both spend time with their families and children. Both also create conditions for the other person to develop freely in the direction they desire. For example, Diem My has choices in work; her passions or personal hobbies are respected by her husband.
Even so, they always put sharing and understanding each other first because they believe that this is an important factor for a sustainable marriage. Although busy, sometimes her husband still spends time with Diem My, her friends on special occasions. For her, this is already a great happiness.
For Diem My, the past 32 years in marriage have also been so many years of "learning" many interesting lessons from her partner in thinking and thinking; balancing between career and personal life; cultivating tolerance, altruism... or even how to overcome challenges that everyone can face in marriage. When going through all of them, she and her husband both see themselves in a more complete version in the journey of living for each other and for their children.
Diem My said that at this age, she and her husband are enjoying a beautiful time with themselves, family and with their children. They are reassured when their children are all grown up, have jobs, are independent... Diem My does not wish for more, just try her best to preserve this marriage.
Women today are much more brave and talented. I am really happy to see that through each generation, they have developed more outstandingly, especially from my children. No matter what generation, at what time I believe, when I return, there is still a family as a place to share joy when we succeed, hug us when we fail, stumble... then that is already a great happiness. For me personally, all efforts for my family are worthy and meaningful," Diem My shared.
