My mum only had one eye, i hated her, she was such an embarrassment!
She cooked for teachers and students to support the family
There was one day during primary school where she 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 one of my class mates said "Eeww, your mum only has one eye!"
I wanted to bury myself, i also wanted my mum to disappear
So i confronted her and said, "If you're only going to make me a laughing stock, why don't you just die!"
My mum 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
So i studied really hard and got a chance to go to Singapore
Then i got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own and i was happy with my life
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
I screamed at her, "How dare you come to my house and scare my children! Get out fo here now!
And to this my mother quietly answered, "Oh, i'm sorry i may have gotten the wrong address."
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 neighbours said that she died
I did not shed a single tear
They handed me a letter she wanted me to have
{To the smile of my life}
My dearest son i think of you all of 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 i was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up
You see... when you were little, you got into an accident and lost your eye
As a mother i could not stand watching you having to grow up with one eye
So i gave you mine, Seeing a whole new world for me in my place with that eye
With my love to you
Your Mother
Very sad :'( I hope we all treat our parents with great care &Respect them. Without them we probably would have not existed yet when bad times come some childrens are ready to give up their parents for the sake of their life..... To all my fellow yabber plz do spread the message about taking care of their parents.... Thank you for your time :)

Report abuseThat is very touching. I pray all kids have the heart to love their parents as much as their parents have loved them.

This is so sad. Most of us take our parents for granted and forget that they are human too. They deserve as much love and care as we give our friends.
That is depressing. We should learn to love our parents more
this is such an emotional story, taking your parents for granted is horrible and this is a really nice post.:)
That's really sad
omg :'( that son is horrible, i cant believe he would do that :(
Even still the mother had that unconditonal love :')
Yes, I agree. Parent's need to be treated with great respect and affection. This story, I have seen happen in reality. I know few people, who let their mothers down and yet do not see the bigger picture - these people don't realise till it's too late.
:'(
Very emotional!

That is so sad and makes us realise that we take our parents for granted :( we need to show them we love them more
