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.
