My Mum Only Had One Eye

     My Mum only had one eye. I hate 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 mum 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 day at school one of my classmates said,” E…, Your mum  only has one eye!”
      I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mum to just disappear. 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 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 feeling.
      I wanted out of that house and had nothing to do with her.
So I studied very 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 laugh at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited. I scream 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, “ I’m so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address.” And then she disappeared out of sight.
     One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. Therefore, I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to my mother’s shack I could not find her.
        Not too long, my neighbors came and said that my mother had 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.”
