My appearance is like my father, but my characteristic is are look like my mother. Nowadays, I feel I love my mother more than before. When I was young, I fought a lot with my mother. But now I talk a lot with my mom, and I give many hugs (pl) to her. It seems I realize and am really thankful for my mother's love  that because and really thanked to my mother's love, as I am getting old. I didn't have many talks with my father because he did not talk a lot. But I know he loved me also. When I was in the army service at the front base to North Korea, he visited our camp on weekends at least once a month with delicious and healthy foods made in at home.
