I wrote this short fiction, thinking that I wanted to talk about disease, money, and grace. These were things that I didn? believe in a decade ago. It is amazing to see how fast time flies, and how what we believe to be true turns into something laughable. Ten years from now, I might be writing about something that today? me do not believe in. In fact, I hope I do.

Toward the end of the short story, the narrator and Incheol also name their daughter Haewon, which seems to be an attempt to resolve the embitterment that the narrator had felt toward her grandmother and to offer consolation and remember her grandmother? life. Through this process, the narrator comes to accept the history that continues from her grandmother and her mother down to herself, and positions herself on the map of matrilineal history.
