I read a meanful story and wanna share with you. Let's enjoy together!
"My mom only had one eyes. 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 run out. The next at school one of my classmates said "EEE, your mom only has one eye". I wanted to burry myself. I also wanted my mom to disappear. I confronted her that day and said "If you've 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 mom came to visit me. She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't 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 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, the 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 old shack just out of curiousity. My neighbors said that she died. I did not shed a single tear. They handed 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 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 pround 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"
