My mom only had one eye. I hated her… She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and 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.’

How should God react to these sorts of so-called sons? Amazing story, well explained about the love and care of a mother. These types of sons should be expelled far away from Earth, to a place where there is no love and affection.
Good story, Octavious.

When kids grow up, they somehow begin to feel that their parents embarrass them, but fail to understand the fact that their parents have sacrificed to their utmost in order to bring them to the point where today they can hold their head high in society. There is no substitute for parents - they must be valued while they are alive!

Really, this story touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes after reading it. In this materialistic world, people have lost their emotions, and their hearts have become hardened and insensitive. We can buy everything in this world except a mother's love. At least from now on, children should understand their duties; they should take care, spend time, and understand their parents' feelings. It is their prime responsibility to take care, especially of their elderly, bedridden, and frail parents, regardless of the circumstances.
Thanks a lot for sharing this valuable story; it is essential in the modern generation.

Thank you is not enough to say, Vaishnavi. Why? Because you shared such a real thing with all the people. It's not a story; it's a true thing in this world. Actually, I don't have tears to cry because I am crying for three months. I completed my MBA with BBM as the topper. I am trying a lot to get a job in core HR, but I am not even getting a call for an interview. In this situation, you made me cry again. Really, a mother's love is indispensable in this world. Nobody like father, brother, sister, relatives, friends, or lovers can replace it. She is the one who gave us entrance into this world. But most people just pass through the way without even looking for her.
If we pierce with a small pin or blade, we shout like anything. For giving birth to us, she felt pain equal to 52 bones fractures and breaking at a time. So, it's time for all of us to think for just a minute about what we are doing and where we are.
Thank you for sharing my feelings with all of you, and special thanks to Vaishu for giving me a chance through your post.

There is nothing like heaven or hell.
Please do not spend much after your loved one's death, but make them feel special during their lifespan. After your loved one's death, spending on donations and charity, etc., is useless but rather seen as a showmanship to society. Instead, during their lifespan, make them feel like haven by your treatment and behavior.
