Son,
Everytime I think of the word,“son”, my heart shatters. Although your sister is only one year older than you, you still call after her, “Noona~Noona~”. You two get along well, and it saves me from worrying about you.
My cute little guy acts like a pampered child, and you’re cuter than your sister when you are nestled in my embrace. Shortly after your debut, you still had a sense of unease, questioning, “Will we be able to make it [in the industry]?”Also, due to the considerable amount of practice, your body felt like it had reached its limits. Yet, without much encouragement, I only said to you, “Many people wished that they are where you are today, so don’t feel unsatisfied, you must keep striving!” which made you felt saddened that night.
A few days ago, I went to the doctor’s for a check up, and they said that the suspected thyroid cancer has been cleared.
I hope that you will mature and become stronger every day, and although I’ve been cleared, every day I worry about how well your activities are going. You would comfort me saying, “Medical science has been improving a lot recently, this type of illness [the cancer] can be cured,” and it makes me feel that you are reliable.
Furthermore, when I saw your post on Ka-Talk, “I always seem to forget that you won’t always be by my side,” my heart suddenly ached. Fortunately, I don’t have cancer; however I still need to have a mandatory checkups every three months.
In order to look after me, no matter how tired you are, you come to see me with a tired face, I feel at ease, but also remorseful; my heart is filled with pain and satisfaction.
Son, I love you, and thank you.
To my beloved son,
Mum.
