My mom only had one eye. I hated her... she was such
an embarrassment.
She cooked for students & teachers to support the
family.
There was this one day during elementary school
where my mom came to say
hello to me.
I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me?
I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.
The next day at school one of my classmates said,
'EEEE, your mom only has
one eye!'
I wanted to bury myself.
I also wanted my mom to just disappear.
I confronted her that day and said, ' If you're only
goanna make me a
laughing stock, why don't you just die?'
My mom did not respond...
I didn't even stop to think for a second about what
I had said, because I
was full of anger.
I was oblivious to her feelings.
I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do
with her.
So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to
study.
Then, I got married.
I bought a house of my own.
I had kids of my own.
I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts,
Then one day, my
mother came to visit me.
She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet
her grandchildren.
When she stood by the door, my children laughed at
her, and I yelled at
her for coming over uninvited.
I screamed at her, 'How dare you come to my house
and scare my children!'
GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!'
And to this, my mother quietly answered, 'Oh, I'm so
sorry. I may have
gotten the wrong address,' and she disappeared out
of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to
my house.
So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business
trip.
After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out
of curiosity.
My neighbors said that she died.
I did not shed a single tear.
They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to
have.
'My dearest son,
I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came
to your house and
scared your children.
I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the
reunion.
But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see
you.
I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you
when you were growing up.
You see........when you were very little, you got
into an accident, and
lost your eye.
As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to
grow up with one eye.
So I gave you mine.
I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new
world for me, in my
place, with that eye.
With all my love to you,
Your mother.
Send this to at least 5 people in the next 5 minutes
to show you love your
mother.
If you don't then it shows you have no heart
Always tell someone that you love them because you
never know what day
will be their last, or your own.
Always seek to resolve your problems or
disagreements with loved ones
because if either of you should pass on before, the
one who is left alive will
have the rest of their life to ponder those
unresolved feelings but will never
find closure. And closure usually brings peace...
