My mom only had one eye. I disliked her… She was such an unpleasantness. She prepared for students and teachers to assist the family.
There was this one day during primary school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so ashamed.
How could she do this to me? I overlooked her, tossed her a hateful look and ran out. The up coming day at school one of my classmates said, “EEEE, your mom only has one eye!”
I wanted to hide myself. I also desired my mom to just go away. I confronted her that day and said, “If you’re only going to make me a laughing stock, why don’t you just die?”
My mom did not react… I didn’t even stop to think for a second about what I had said, simply because I was full of anger. I was unaware to her emotions.
I wanted out of that house, and have practically nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.
Then, I got married. I purchased 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 grand kids.
When she was standing 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 mom quietly answered, “Oh, I’m so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address.” – And she gone away out of sight.
One day, a letter about a school reunion came to my house. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a company trip. After the gathering, I went to the old shack just out of desire.
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 arriving 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 all my love to you,
Your mother.”
After that moment i always miss my mom.
