Helena · **My mom only had one eye....reminder 4 all.... -** 02-19-2007

My mom only had one eye. I hated her... she was such an embarrassment. My mom ran a small shop at a flea market. She collected little weeds and such to sell... anything for the money we needed she was such an embarrassment. There was this one day during elementary school.
I remember that it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school..."Your mom only has one eye?!" and they taunted me.
I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to my mom, "Mom, why don't you have the other eye?! You're only going to make me a laughingstock. Why don't you just die?"
My mom did not respond. I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, it felt good to think that I had said what I'd wanted to say all this time.
Maybe it was because my mom hadn't punished me, but I didn't think that I had hurt her feelings very badly.
That night...I woke up, and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. My mom was crying there, so quietly, as if she was afraid that she might wake me. I took a look at her, and then turned away. Because of the thing I had said to her earlier, there was something pinching at me in the corner of my heart. Even so, I hated my mother who was crying out of her one eye. So I told myself that I would grow up and become successful, because I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty.
Then I studied really hard. I left my mother and came to Seoul and studied, and got accepted in the Seoul University with all the confidence I had. Then, I got
married. I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I'm living happily as a successful man. I like it here because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom. This happiness was getting bigger and bigger, when someone unexpected came to see me.
"What?! Who's this?!"
...It was my mother...Still with her one eye. It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me. My little ran away, scared of my mom's eye. And I asked her, "Who are you? I don't know you!!!" as if she trying to make that real. I screamed at her "How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter! 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. Thank good ness... she doesn't recognize me. I was quite relieved. I told myself that I wasn't going to care, or think about this for the rest of my life.
Then a wave of relief came upon me...one day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. I lied to my wife saying that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went down to the old shack, that I used to call a house...just out of curiosity there, I found my mother fallen on the cold ground. But I did not shed a single tear. She had a piece of paper in her hand.... it was a letter to me.
She wrote:
My son...
I think my life has been long enough now. And... I won't visit Seoul
anymore... but would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to come visit me once in a while? I miss you so much. And I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I decided not to go to the school.... For you... I'm sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment for you. 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 only one eye... so I gave you mine...I was so proud of my son that was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye. I was never upset at you for anything you did. The couple times that you were angry with me. I thought to myself, 'it's because he loves me.' I miss the times when you were still young around me.
I miss you so
much. I love you. You mean the world to me.
My world shattered!!!
Then I cried for the person who lived for me? My MOTHER
Just pause for a moment and pray for our parents so that God gives them all the happiness that they rightfully deserve.......!!!!!

Subhanallah.. thats really moving.. What a ungrateful son.. he deserved a few slaps on the face.. what kind aperson disrespects his mother like that..

Jazakalal khair for sharing the story sis..

Um_ahmad · **Re: My mom only had one eye....reminder 4 all.... -** 02-19-2007

Thamks sis, That was very nice reminder, Today is 1 years that my mom passed away. I really want to thank you for this past. Allah yer7am l jami3.

aljawaad · **Re: My mom only had one eye....reminder 4 all.... -** 02-19-2007

Really touching! May Allah protect us from such children.

tomtomsmom · **Re: My mom only had one eye....reminder 4 all.... -** 02-19-2007

Wow, that is really powerful. It is a reminder to us all. Even though our parents might not have given up an eye for us to be happy they have given up somehting. As a teenager I gave my parents total hell. But now that I am a mother myself I realize how much they gave up just to keep a roof over my head and food in my belly.

Hmmmm I think I am going to call them both right now just to remind them of how much I love them and how thankful I am of everything they did for me!

afriend · **My Mother had only one eye -** 03-24-2007

This story made me cry:

My mom only had one eye. I hated her... she was such an embarrassment.
My mom ran a small shop at a flea market. She collected little weeds
and such to sell... anything for the money we needed she was such an
embarrassment. There was this one day during elementary school.
I remember that it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out.
The next day at school..."Your mom only has one eye?!" and they
taunted me.

I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to
my mom, "Mom, why don't you have the other eye?! You're only going to
make me a laughingstock. Why don't you just die?" My mom did not
respond. I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, it felt
good to think that I had said what I'd wanted to say all this time.

Maybe it was because my mom hadn't punished me, but I didn't think
that I had hurt her feelings very badly.

That night...I woke up, and went to the kitchen to get a glass of
water. My mom was crying there, so quietly, as if she was afraid that
she might wake me. I took a look at her, and then turned away. Because
