My name is Theresa, and I’m 63 years old.
I raised Mary Lou alone after my husband passed away.
She was intelligent, kind, and beautiful.
At 21, she married Kang Jun, a Korean man almost 20 years older than me.
I objected.
But she was determined.
Shortly after the wedding, she left.
At the airport, we cried together.
I thought she would come back someday.
She never did.
The money kept coming.
Always $80,000.
Always the same message:
“Mom, take care. I’m fine.”
That word worried me.
“Fine,” the neighbors murmured.
I stayed silent.

“I’m very busy with work, Mom.”
I stopped asking.
Years passed.
