A vintage-filtered image depicts a spinning amusement park swing ride, captured in motion. The central pillar of the ride is ornately decorated, and swings are suspended from chains around the top edge, with riders appearing as blurred figures due to the motion. A flag is visible on top of the structure. The background shows a crowd of people and park structures, under a soft, dusky sky. The overall tone is nostalgic with a grainy texture.


My dear Yoon-ah,

I still feel the warmth of that day with you and little Ha-eun in my heart. Seeing the two of you step off the train was already a gift, but the moments we shared… they are treasures.

The carousel ride with Ha-eun—oh, I will never forget her laughter! The way her small hands clutched the bar, her hair flying in the wind, her eyes wide with pure joy… It has been so long since I’ve seen such light in a child’s face. In these times, moments like that are rare, like flowers blooming out of season.

Thank you for giving me a day filled with sunshine, laughter, and the feeling that, for a little while, the world was only ours. I’m already counting the days until you visit again. We’ll ride the carousel once more, and perhaps plant something new together—so that joy may keep growing.

With all my love,
Mom
