I, who lived in miles away and across the ocean, directly went home to visit my dearest mother.
She lied down in weakness on her bed after having an operation.
Mother, who looked so old, was staring at me in deep yearn.
She tried to spread her smile on her face, even it looked so stiff because of the disease she held out.
It was clear enough to see how the disease broke my mother’s body, thus she looked so weak and thin.
I stared at my mother within tears flowing on my face. My heart was hurt, so hurt, seeing my mother on that condition.
But mother, with her strength, said “Don’t cry, my dear. I’m not in pain.”
That was Mother’s Eight Lie.
After saying her eighth lie, She closed her eyes forever!
