My mom only had one eye ... i hated her .. she was such an embarrassment, she cooked for students and teachers to support my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me?! ,, i ignored her .... threw a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school, one of my classmate said, "eeee,, your mom has only one eye!" ...... i wanted to bury myself,, i also wanted my mom to just dissappear. I confronted her that day and said,, " If you're only gonna 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 said,, because i was so 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 and study. Then, i got married, i bought a house of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts. Then, one day, my mother cane to visit me. She hadn't seen me in years and didn't even meet her grandchildren. When she stood by the door, my children laugh at her and yelled at her for coming over uninvited.
I screamed at her,, "How dare you come to my house and scared my children?! GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!" .. and to this my mother quietly answered, " oh, im so sorry. i may have gotten the wrong address" .. and she dissappeared 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 to a business trip. After the reunion, i went back to the old shock just out of my curiosity. My neighbors said that she died. I did not ahed a single tear. They handed me a letter that she 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 gkad when i heared you were coming from 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 embarassment to you when you were going up....
You see ....... when you were very little,, you got into an incident.. 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 one eye.-with all my love to you,
Your mother.
