My dear Friends, A very
touching story I have gone through, which I want to share with all of you.
Please
read and follow the request made at the end.
While
typing this story I am in tears as I am remembering my dearest Mom who is very
very old, she can see very well, listen a little and can Talk all her past
stories, but only she cannot walk. We all Love our Mother.
She
understands everything. Hats off to my Dearest brother and his wife their young
children who are taking care of her. God bless them.
The
title of the story is,
"Mother's
unconditional love"
_______
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 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...

I
don't think that cruelty to your parents can be forgiven.
I
only make a humble request to the whole world that,
"Please,
please, love your parents, give them all the happiness, and be kind to them,
respect them, adore them, take care of them, make them feel secure in your
presence and never ever leave them alone. You will regret, because, once they
are gone, they will never come back.
