my mom only had one eye

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 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 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 maynot 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.


==================================================================
alittle note :


show your love to 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...

'I asked God, 'How do I get the best out of life?'
God said, 'Face your past without regrets. Handle your present with confidence. 
And prepare for the future without fear!''
