Ty Vue

collector of stories

Ty Vue is the son of Jim Vue and Sai Thao.  He is also a big brother to his four siblings.  He   loves gaming, teasing his younger sisters, and just hanging out.  The waterers gave Ty an opportunity to look at how information is shared between generations.  It also allowed him to spend time with his dad asking questions about his childhood.

knowledge that flows between 

father and son . . . .

goes back and forth

 like splashing water

My father and I spend a lot of time sharing opinions.   Often we don’t agree and it can take time for us to understand each other.  But we work at.  We respect each other.  We have fun.  He opens my mind to the possibilities.  My father is my waterer.
