My mom only had one eye.
I hated 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.
I confronted her
that day and said,
If youre only gonna
make me a laughing stock, why dont you
just die?
My mom did not respond I didnt 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 hadnt seen me in years
and she didnt 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 OFHERE!
NOW!!!
And to this, my mother quietly answered,
Oh, Im 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 there union, I went to the old shack
just out of curiosity.
My neighbours 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. Im 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. Im
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 couldnt 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.
MORAL LESSON:
Always LOVE your parents. They are a
blessing to you.
