Born in Seoul, South Korea, I married young when I was only 23. I was fooled by my husband's sleepy eyes in the darkness in front of Myung Dong Catholic Church on a warm April evening. When he proposed to me with that sleepy eyes, I thought I had to rescue him... thinking he would be lost without me.
Peace is the beauty of life. It is sunshine. It is the smile of a child, the love of a mother, the joy of a father, the togetherness of a family.
It is the advancement of man, the victory of a just cause, the triumph of truth.
All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues, the most dominating virtues of human, are created, strengthened and maintained.
Family is a unique gift that needs to be appreciated and treasured, even when they're driving you crazy.
As much as they make you mad, interrupt you, annoy you, curse at you, these are the people who know you the best and who love you.
The bond that a child develops with his mother can never be severed.
You grew as an organism inside her for nine months. She carried you and sustained you, sharing her sustenance with you through your umbilical cord.
When you are born the cord is severed.
It is never severed in her heart. That bond lasts forever.
As we grow up we become our own people and may come to forget that woman who nurtured and loved us.
But remember this, she will never forget you and never stop loving you.
You tell me that you love me when I don't love myself. You're the one who holds my hand when I need the most help.
You smile when you're sad to make me smile too. You make my life so much better by everything you do.
