To my dear Sang-ah,
The daughter whose name I say out loud every day. My daughter who will always be in my heart. The little three-year-old you once were is still with me. The laughing and bright child you always were. So full of affection and excitement.
What can this mother, who allowed you to experience such misery at a young age, possibly say to you, Sang-Ah.
Please forgive your mother, and even if just once, please contact me. To know how you have navigated this difficult life, and to know how you are doing now I want and need to know so badly.
Although it has already been 35 years, there hasn’t been one single day that has passed without me thinking of you. You are in my heart 24 hours a day, and I hope you will give me a chance to explain that there were circumstances that made it impossible for me to stay with you. I’m asking for your forgiveness, even though this must have caused you so much anger. Even if by fate, I hope you will consider it and try to understand. Even if you are frustrated with me and blame me for everything, I will understand. If I can lend you even a little strength, please let me contact you.
