     Since he couldn't afford to feed meat to everyone in his family , he would
               secretly take me out and feed me meat , telling me to come home only af
               ter the meat smell had disappeared from my clothes .
               I lived my life feeling my mother’s passionate love with my whole body .
               Because it was a time when everyone was experiencing difficulties ,
               What kind of parents haven't gone through hardships ?
               My mother seems to have had a particularly hard time .
               There were many times when people around me clicked their tongues an
               d asked, ‘How can people live in such difficult times? ’
               Whenever you feel tired and in pain ,
               My mother always looked out for us three sons and four daughters .
               My mother always said .
               A woman is said to be a female pilsamjong (女必三從) , meaning that she
               follows her parents when she is born , and when she gets married
               to follow her father , and to follow her children when her father dies.
               He used to say .
               And my mother did as she said ,
               I always taught that to my sisters and brothers ,
               He taught me and other men that when a man divorces his wife, he must
               never abandon her because she is sick , has no family to return to , or
               has no other way to live . At least for my mother, home was her only san
               ctuary . He lived his life feeling that it must be followed and that it was
               so natural .
               And the person who practiced it throughout her life was my mother .
               Perhaps because of my mother's influence, I tried very hard to protect m
               y family . No one will understand how I feel .
               It was because my body had become wet without me knowing .
               If my mother fights with the neighborhood kids or causes any trouble , s
               he always scolds them. He struck us .

               Sometimes, I was a little dissatisfied with my mother .
