MORAL LESSON: TOUCHING STORY ABOUT A MAN......
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 neighbours 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."
the son got into tears, but it was too late.
MORAL LESSON:
Never neglect your MOM, Because she is a blessing. One day
you will cry when she will be gone.
