My mother is the best mother

My mom only had one eye
I hated her... she was such an embarrassment


She ****ed for students & 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
Your mom only has one eye


I wanted to bury myself
I also wanted my mom to just disappear


So 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


So I studied real hard, got a chance to go to Singapore 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


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

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 neighbors 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 Singapore 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 my love to you…


…Your mother…
