She was such an embarrassment. She used to cook for the students and teachers to support the family.There was this one day, during elementary school when 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 classmates said:”EEEE, your mom only has one eye!”I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom just to 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 didn’t 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 feeling. I went out of that house and have nothing to do with her.So I studied 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 all comfort.Then, one day my mother came to visit me. She hasn’t seen me years along and she didn’t even meet her grand children.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 told my wife that I was going on a business trip.After the reunion, I went to the old shock just out of curiosity. My neighbors said that she died. I didn’t shed 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 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 am sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when 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”

  • Sister Atika, I've decided to put the story on ec blog post purposely, to tell anyone who reads it that we don't have much time to show our love or gratitute to those who thanks to them we are what we are.

  • Pleasure is mine my dear friend Nadira, I hope that this story has lighted up dark hearts.
    Thank you.
  • LOVE UR PARENTS.....they are most precious treasure and gift given to us by God..we are often arrogant and bad towards them especially when they need us the most ....parents in their old age look for few kind words, little of our time and care .....we should give them at least 5% of what they have bestowed on us ......
    A very Heartrending story...thanks Nebia for sharing with us..
  • yes, it's really touching my heart, dear Soulmate.

    even my tears had come down. and I can guess a myriad of remorse fills his heart ... not a day or two maybe his lifetime. yeah that's the meaning of life we often never know that the goodness is always around us without we realize ... thank you so much!

  • Yes indeed ,,i already read it for several times and each time i have the same feeling ,,a feeling of ;"how the human can be wrong ",,yes ,,we should try to understand things and life before judgung it ,,love and accept what is offered to us and not what is offered to others ,,living with a hope and not a despair ...
