I, who worked in the other city, often sent her some money to help her in fulfilling her needs, but she was stubborn for not accepting the money.
She even sent the money back to me. She said “I have enough money.”
That was Mother’s Sixth Lie.
After graduated from Bachelor Degree, I then continued my study to Master Degree.
I took the degree, which was funded by a company through a scholarship program, from a famous University in America .
I finally worked in the company.
Within a quite high salary, I intended to take my mother to enjoy her life in America. But my lovely mother didn’t want to bother her son, she said to me “I’m not used to.”
That was Mother’s Seventh Lie.
After entering her old age, mother got a flank cancer and had to be hospitalized.
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!
