Hey guys do read this story its soo sad nd its true
*********************
My mom
only had one eye. I hated her....
She was such an embarrassment. .

She cooked 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, "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 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 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.

Doesn't look like a true story.

That guy even went to study abroad.
and married, had children.
still he turned her mom away.
just bcoz of the eye ? !!

No doctor will perform such operation.
---------
And her mom should have tried to explain this to him earlier.
Both of them could have lived all these years, with love and happiness
which both of them lost, just becoz of this secret.
--------
I blame that mom for not telling this to him earlier.

That's not fair. What difference does that make? Only if the guy knew that her mom made a sacrifice for him and that's why she was not so beautiful then he would understand her and not blame her being 'ugly'? What's the point of that relationship? The true thing is doesn't matter why she did that or how she looks like he should be able to realize that she was his mom. A mother makes enough sacrifices for her kids anyways.

That time, i didn't explain much.

ok, this is not against the poster of the story. bcoz he/she shared it from someone.
And this can never be a true story.

The point u made, that is really common sense, right ?
i mean, who will say, that the guy was right to do that.

i know, this can never a true story,
so what does the writer want to say, (not the poster).
he made that sacrifice important.
he made the punch line, and made a story look like that.


The story , i guess, cud start with, an ugly face, burn marks, a little bit unusual, not just the eye.
then it makes a little sense.
And then a kid behaves in that way, i can understand that too.
bcoz kids behave that way, if their parnets, siblings are not normal, and classmates make fun.
or poor, and like that. And that really happens.
Even many adult, get embarrassed like this, if their parents enter in their high class parties. (yeah only in few case, but ppl like that exist).

What i wanted to say that time,
that i know it is not true story, and the writer tries to play with readers, (not this poster).. by introducing the part of eye-donation. This is to make the guy guilty and to put us in other mood.
---
And my point was,
if she sacrificed her eyes, or there was a story behind that, or if she was born liked that.
she had to explain this to him earlier.
i don't expect a kid at school, so intelligent to understand these points automatically.
i wanted her to explain all this to him at early stage.

and once that kid got damaged, there is a little chance that he can understand all things so easily when became adult. he was constantly hating her for no good reasons.
---
when she wrote all this in the end,
now too, if that guy can understand, his life doesn't become happy. there will be more pain now.

if she cud explain all of this to him, when he was kid.
why i talked abt telling him abt the sacrifice.
coz it makes situation a little easier for her.
And explanation was very easy.
and it cud have made him to love her more, for what she did.
--------
And if this was a normal story, when she was born that way.
then it was much different.
but when a sacrifice is involved, and not revealed at proper time,
it destroys many things.

well..
i don't like the story.
the writer (not the poster) plays with the emotions,
when he mentioned abt this eye operation and made it 'true story'.
-----
i picture it this way,
her mom explaining her the normal way,
he understand , didn't understand
(if not,
then she tells the secret.
then he will surely understand.)
he hugged her.
and rest of the life,
there is lots of love and happiness in their lives.

The story is touching no doubt but can't be true. Eyes are not taken from live donors.

Even many adult, get embarrassed like this, if their parents enter in their high class parties. (yeah only in few case, but ppl like that exist). I know kids do but as an adult he should've been able to understand. I know many kids who cope with an unusual sibbling pretty well. They are not embarrassed of him/her because they know how important and special their family members are and being is not a criteria to be judged on. I just don't approve of his actions as an adult especially after he had children he should've known the importance of the sacrifices that the parents make. And he should've been more appreciative of his mother regardless of knowing whether or not she had given him her eye.

What i wanted to say that time,
that i know it is not true story, and the writer tries to play with readers, (not this poster).. by introducing the part of eye-donation. This is to make the guy guilty and to put us in other mood. Well, that's the point it was quite selfish and disgusting of the guy to react that way.

i don't expect a kid at school, so intelligent to understand these points automatically.
i wanted her to explain all this to him at early stage. Well, if she had explained that to kid at school age then would he have understood? And the kind of personality he had even if he had understood I doubt he had given her any true respect. He would've only felt guilty before giving her any rude comment and maybe it was that guilt that she was trying to save him from.

and once that kid got damaged, there is a little chance that he can understand all things so easily when became adult. he was constantly hating her for no good reasons. Exactly! Kids don't hate. They dislike something for no good reasons as you said. But when you grow up you become a sensible person and then you try to think about all the situations. My point is that he should've used his mind at that point.
---
when she wrote all this in the end,
now too, if that guy can understand, his life doesn't become happy. there will be more pain now. That's his punishment for being an awful son.

if she cud explain all of this to him, when he was kid.
why i talked abt telling him abt the sacrifice.
coz it makes situation a little easier for her.
And explanation was very easy.
and it cud have made him to love her more, for what she did. Or he could've just felt guilty and guilt doesn't spark respect or love.
--------
And if this was a normal story, when she was born that way.
then it was much different.
but when a sacrifice is involved, and not revealed at proper time,
it destroys many things. Yep but sacrifices are meant to be hidden. At least this is what I believe in. If you sacrifice for someone keep quiet and don't tell anyone. Because sacrifice is nothing to be bragged about and if you do that then it's not a sacrifice anymore.

well..
i don't like the story.
the writer (not the poster) plays with the emotions,
when he mentioned abt this eye operation and made it 'true story'. Me neither, I agree about this I am not a big fan of this particular story but I can't come up with any excuse why the son behaved like that.
-----

he understand , didn't understand
(if not,

and rest of the life,
there is lots of love and happiness in their lives. Well that's a very pretty end and we all want that to happen but it doesn't happen in real life all the time. I know that because I have been through that. No matter how much you sacrifice for some people and they know it but yet they use you and then they don't care about you anymore. That's the harsh reality of life. What you are talking about is another fantasy story with a beautiful ending in itself.

i agree with ur points.

noone is going to like that guy's behaviour.

my stupid point was
that the first time..
i wud have advised her to talk with that son, or she shud have taken someone else's help for that. parents shud talk with their kids. Even if there was no such sacrifice. she shud have talked abt this issue.

i was thinking abt one other problem, what to do, if someone's kid don't like them for the reason of ugliness and embarrassment. !

and this is one of the chain-email, more like urban legends
