OMG IM SO BORED!
i just read the sadest thing on my email:



> 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 girl ran away, scared of my mom's eye.
>
> And I asked her, "Who are you? I don't know
> you!!!" as if I tried to
> make that real. I screamed at her "How dare you come
> to my house and
> scare my daughter! 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. 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


forward if you love your mom, and the sacrifices a mom does for your happiness.
