The ventilation is so good that my mom doesn't suffer. My face opened up a bit. “The wrinkles are gone,” he said.

I went to the bank alone in the rain, and my hands were shaking. It was a lot of money. It was also amazing that it was a transaction. I sent it and said, 'Mom, deposit it now.' I said, 'Please check,' and the deposit was made. He said, 'We're moving!' He said, 'We're moving. Congratulations.'
