i remember at some point,
i yelled at mom saying in korean,
you are standing in the middle of a flower field,
plugging flower on top of your head,
being happy by yourself like a crazed, delirious bitch.
in korean that is much more offending than it sounds like in english.
as there was slang involved in this.
mom cried.
i was a nasty son to her. because we couldn't connect.
we couldn't connect intellectually, or by values in life.
i hated mom, and dearly loved her at the same time.
there's a movie i watched, a Chinese movie, "CJ7",
it's about a kid who loses his parent in a construction incident,
and the kid is crying to his school teacher ---
"he (in my case 'she') won't leave me alone!"
mom wouldn't leave me alone with love.
smothered me with love and wished the best for me badly. T_T....
and despite all that fight, conflict.
when that love just disappeared, as she died.
i wanted to die with her.
hope you understand how i felt.
