i don't own this

my mum had only 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 helllo 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 my self, i also wanted my mum to disappear. so i confronted her and said "if your 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 her out of that house. so i studied really hard and got a chance togo 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 of here now!" and to this my mother quietly answered, "oh, i'm sorry i may have gotten the wrong address." one day a letter reguarding a school reunion came to my house. so i lied to my wife that i was going on a business trip. after the reunioun, i went to the old shack just out of curiousity. 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 the time. i'm sorry that i came to singapore and scared your children. i was so glad when i heard that 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 when you where growing up. you see... when you where 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 world for me in my place with that eye. with my love to you, your mother.

how sad is that?! this is based on a true story

i wanted to cry when i read this what do you guys think
