The beloved 'Grandma Running Through the Moments' series from 'Funjaicitoon' has been published as a book.
Alzheimer's struck my mother, who had always lived confidently.
Let's meet the resonant story of a grandmother who never loses her cheerfulness despite fading memories and an unfamiliar daily life, and her family who firmly support each other.
- Essay PD Lee Ju-eun
To my mother who was always cheerful and cheerful
Alzheimer's, a disease that slowly devours memories, is coming.
The Instatoon "Funjaicitoon" that has captured 160,000 followers is back.
Volumes 1 and 2 of 『The Grandmother Who Runs Through Time』 are a collection of stories about the most beloved character, the 'Grandmother Who Runs Through Time'.
Mrs. Woo Ae-ryeong, the mother of author Um Yu-jin, is a novelist, professor, counselor, and mother, and has always lived her life with courage and cheerfulness.
One day, a strange sign came to her.
My memory was gradually fading and even my daily life was starting to become distorted.
After much deliberation, he is finally diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease at a hospital he visits with his family.
If this were a common story, the mood would become solemn from here on out, and the story would continue with a sorrowful development.
But our 'Moment Running Grandmother' is different.
Even when faced with a serious diagnosis, he is not afraid, but rather melts the frozen atmosphere in the examination room in an instant with his unique witty jokes.
Spring comes to the hearts of families who were immersed in grief after hearing the diagnosis, as if it had never happened before.
Even when he is diagnosed with a disease that causes him to lose his memory, he does not lose his smile and protects himself without wavering in the face of unexpected situations.
Where does that strength come from? Author Um Yu-jin, her daughter, felt her mother's remarkable attitude toward life was miraculous, but she was deeply saddened by the fact that her mother's memories were gradually fading.
It was perhaps natural that I decided to record my memories with my mother.
Those records were gathered together to create an Instatoon titled 'The Grandmother Who Runs Through the Moment', which resonated with many people, and finally, in the book, it meets readers as a complete story.

Into the book
“There are good things about not remembering.
After I finished reading all of Agatha Christie's mystery novels,
I was wondering what fun I could have in life, but now that I look back, I don't remember a single thing.
I just finished reading it, but I still don't know who the culprit is.
“How exciting is it to read it again?”
--- From the text
“Be sure to write it down carefully.
What Eugene's mother says is not something you can easily hear elsewhere.
“It’s not easy to face reality coolly and still have a warm heart.”

Publisher's Review
Bang! Transcending space and time with a sound
Grandma Running Through the Moments
The author describes his mother's flickering memories as "twinkling," likening them to Christmas lights that turn on and off repeatedly.
And I named my mother, whose memory sparkles, ‘Grandma who runs through the moment’ (hereafter referred to as Grandma).
In the cartoon, the grandmother's appearance changes with a bang! sound even while having a normal conversation.
I go back to my youth, become a child, and then return to reality.
Like a time traveler in a novel or movie, I travel through time freely and cheerfully.
Perhaps because of this appearance, the #MomentRunningGrandma series from the Instagram series "Funjaisitoon" is drawing the hottest response from fans.
Whenever Grandma's story is posted, the number of 'likes' doubles the usual number, and the comments section is filled with messages of sympathy and support.
What particularly captivates readers is the grandmother's daily life, which remains cheerful and upright even after facing illness.
Even after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's, my grandmother accepted the disease calmly, honestly told people around her about the situation, asked for their understanding, and continued her normal life.
Rather than hiding the illness, he naturally incorporates it into his life through humor.
The reason I was able to remain calm in the face of such a huge storm was because of my attitude toward life, which has remained constant throughout my life.
According to the author, “My mother always loved humor and jokes, and with jokes she could turn situations around, change perspectives, and broaden narrow horizons.”
He never lost his smile in any situation, and even the pain of life was turned into a cheerful experience, reassuring those around him.
Perhaps that's why my grandmother's story begins as a joke and soon resonates deeply within me.
She approaches us as an ordinary grandmother, but at some point, she gives us an unrealistic feeling, like a scene from a movie.
We gain courage from the way they do not give in to difficulties, and we also find comfort in the fact that such people exist close to us in our daily lives.
This is why the #MomentRunningGrandma series is so loved.
My mother continues her life as usual
Families supporting each other more firmly than usual -
The noisy human drama they weave together!
As the title suggests, 'The Grandmother Who Runs Through Time', the grandmother's character stands out in many ways within the work, but this cartoon is not a hero story where one character drives the story.
After her mother is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, her daughter, author Eom Yu-jin, decides to record her mother's fading memories.
In one episode, the narration says, “Mom, forget as much as you want, I’ll remember everything.”
Those words contain the determination to start a record, along with the firm determination to protect my mother, who was once a strong presence.
We can't leave out my father, who is known to be a doting husband.
He comes up with all sorts of ideas to persuade his wife, who is reluctant to go to the hospital, and he answers her questions repeatedly, the same way, over and over again, even as she loses her memory in real time.
Pacon, the writer's husband and son-in-law, is also a warm-hearted family member, even though they are not related by blood.
He often visits the house to check on the environment, check on their well-being, and always stay by their side.
The same goes for brothers living abroad.
Even in situations where travel is not easy, he tries to somehow establish himself in the scattered memories of his mother.
Ultimately, this cartoon is a 'family essay'.
It shows the trials a family goes through when faced with the sudden, great wave of life called Alzheimer's, and how they endure and overcome that ordeal.
At the center of it all is ‘love.’
Although we cannot completely prevent or reverse the disease, our deep affection and solidarity for one another are the strength that sustains us at every moment.
This story shows how comforting it can be to simply be there for someone, even if you can't fully understand or help them.
Families save each other not because they are perfect, but because they never give up on each other.
"The Grandmother Who Runs Through Time" is a story that conveys the power of love in a warm and cheerful way.
Due to the nature of the platform on which the comics are published, the serialized version mainly featured warm and touching episodes, but this book includes conflicts and concerns that were not included in Instatoon, as well as realistic moments that were difficult to reveal.
Additionally, all episodes have been redrawn and reorganized to fit the novel.
In a book that you can read immersively in one sitting, you will be able to feel a different depth and emotion than in an Instatoon.
