00:00The girl had grown up now, but even when changing clothes, she never hid from her parents.
00:04She stayed completely carefree, as if it didn't matter to her whether her parents saw her or not.
00:08That day, she was getting ready to go out when her mom called from the kitchen.
00:11The girl took a deep breath, turned around, and walked to her mother.
00:14Her mom raised both hands and gently felt her from head to toe.
00:17Only when she was sure everything was fine did she let her go.
00:19The truth was, the girl's parents had been blind since birth.
00:22One day, her mother went to pick her up from school.
00:24As soon as the girl saw her mom, she quickly pressed her little bell so her mom wouldn't
00:28hear her footsteps, because she was ashamed of her mother being blind.
00:31But even without the bell, her mom recognized her by her scent.
00:34She understood everything, but said nothing.
00:36Later at home, mother and daughter got into a fight over the same issue.
00:39Right then, the daughter's phone rang.
00:40In anger, the mother threw the phone to the floor.
00:42This made the girl even more furious.
00:44She ran into her mother's room and broke her old cassette tapes,
00:47the ones filled with her childhood recordings.
00:49Things got so bad that the girl stormed out of the house.
00:52The parents sat by the door all night, waiting for her to return.
00:54But by morning, there was still no sign of her.
00:56They searched everywhere, from school to her friends.
00:58But no one had seen her.
00:59Then they heard a terrifying report on the radio.
01:02The police had found a girl's body.
01:03Horrified, the parents rushed to the station.
01:05With trembling hands, the mother touched the body and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
01:09It wasn't their daughter, but she was still missing.
01:12Their hearts wouldn't rest.
01:13Every day, they went out to search for her.
01:15Meanwhile, the girl was happily wandering around with her boyfriend,
01:17as if her parents meant nothing to her.
01:19One night, she quietly returned home.
01:21Her parents weren't there.
01:22Her eyes fell on the broken cassette tapes.
01:24She felt a deep wave of regret.
01:25She began piecing them together, and as soon as one tape played,
01:28her mother's voice filled the room.
01:29Child, forgive us.
01:30Maybe we failed to take care of you properly.
01:32Hearing this, tears streamed down the girl's face.
01:34She remembered her childhood, how once she had accidentally pulled the cooker's wire
01:38and spilled the pot of rice on the floor.
01:40Her mom came running, slipped and fell.
01:42But the first thing she did was lift her daughter up.
01:44She blew on her burned hand and took her to the hospital.
01:46Her mother was injured herself, yet she kept blaming herself for everything.
01:50Her mother had said,
01:50I made that little bell for you so that wherever you are,
01:53I can recognize you and protect you from every danger.
01:56Hearing that memory, the girl completely broke down.
01:58She ran out of the house.
01:59In the heavy rain, her elderly parents were still searching for her.
02:02Then suddenly, an umbrella appeared over her mother's head.
02:05The daughter threw her arms around her and burst into tears.
02:08She apologized over and over.
02:09And in that moment, she finally understood.
02:11We realize the true value of what our parents do for us only when we begin to lose them.
