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 .
