Half a Donut and a Whole Lot of Faith: My MIL’s Legacy of Resilience (An Interview with Susanna Tam)
Update: 2025-05-05
Description
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.”
