AMMA -Something to share on Mother's day

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.

-

So 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 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 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 that 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 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 my love to you,

-

Your mother.
