Mother story.

 

my mom only had one eye.
i hate her ... she was such
an embarrassment.

 

She cooked for students and
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.

 

So i confronted her that day
and said, "If you're only
gonna make me laughing
stock, why don't you just die?!!!"

 

My mom did not respond...

I didnt even stop to think for a second
about what i had said, becouse 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 to Singapore 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 in singapore.

 

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 thats
she had wanted me to have.

 

:"My dearest son, i think of
you all the time.
I'm sorry that i came to singapore
and scared your children.
I was so glad when i heard you
where coming for the reunion.

But i may not be able to even
get out of bed to see you.

 

Im sorry that i was a constant
embarrassment to you when you
where growing up.

 

You see.......where you
where very little, you got into
an accident, and lost your eye.
as a mother i couldn't stand waching
you haveing 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 MY LOVE TO YOU,

YOUR MOTHER."
