Story of a Loving Mother

The story goes...

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 going to 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 where I used to stay, just out of curiosity. 

My neighbours 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 am so proud of you my son, who is seeing a whole new world for me!

In my place, with that eye.

With all my love to you,

Your mother."

This story was circulated in an email some time back.  The original source is unknown.  Nevertheless, the message is clear:

1.  There is nothing shameful about someone having only one eye.  One may feel uneasy upon seeing someone abnormal or different from us, but that doesn't give us the right to despise them or laugh at them.  On the contrary, we need to empathize with the sufferings he/she is going through being not normal like us!  All the more we should be cracking our brains: how we can be of assistance to them, or how to invent something that can make their daily chores as normal as possible.  More often than not, people would go "Eee...", as if to imply that it is such a crime to be disabled/handicapped!

2.  Do not add insult to injury. In the first place, it wasn't the victim's fault that he/she is abnormal in the first place!  Before jumping to conclusion, remind ourselves that what is presented to us is usually the "tip of the iceberg".  The truth goes deeper.  We are usually prejudiced in our view that these people have themselves to blame for their predicament, just to learn later that we are the cause of their misery.  It will be such a shame on our part if this is the case!

Fwd: FW: A letter from father to son,父亲给孩子的信

Michael Leung, a famous TV Host and MC/DJ in Hong Kong , is also a child psychotherapist.

The letter he gave to his son is quite moving. It not only provides a guideline for children, but also suitable for people of all ages.

 

My Son, 

 
I’m writing this list based on three fundamentals:

1. Life is unpredictable. No one knows how long we’re going to live, so some things are better said earlier than later.
2. I’m your father. I’d be the only one to tell you these things.
3. Everything on this list came from my own experience. I learn't them the hard way, and hopefully that’ll save some unnecessary steps in your life.
 

Below are the things you need to remember at all times in your life:

 

1. To people who are unkind to you, don’t sweat it. Through your lifetime, no one is obligated to be nice to you, besides your mom and me.

As for the people who are kind to you, treasure them, be grateful, but at the same time, be extra cautious. Everyone does everything for a reason, when someone is nice to you, it doesn’t mean they like you. You need to be able to see through the surface, instead of making them your true friends immediately.

2. No one is irreplaceable, and nothing is indispensable. With that in mind, even when you lose the people or things that you love and treasure the most, in the future, you need to understand that it’s not that big of a deal.

3. Life is short. While you’re wasting it today, you’ll realize you’re at the end of it tomorrow.   So the earlier you start to treasure your life, the earlier you can enjoy it. Instead of hoping for longevity, start to live life fully early.

4.   The thing called “The Best Love”, or “The One”, doesn’t exist. Love is a feeling of moments. It will definitely change over time and moods. If your so-called “Best Love” left you, please be patient and let time heal your wounds. Through time, your heart will come to peace and your pain will ease. Don’t over expect the beauty of Love, nor over exaggerate the pain when you lose it.

5. Although a lot of successful people not necessarily received high education, you might not be successful if you don't study hard. The knowledge you consume will become your weapon. You can start from nothing to your name, but you can go nowhere if you are not fully prepared. Never forget that!

6 . I don’t expect you to support me for the rest of my life, so I’m not going to do the same for you either. When you’re grown enough to be independent, it will be the end of my responsibilities to you. From that point, it’s completely your own responsibilities and decisions, whether to take the bus or drive a Benz, or whether to eat shark fins or rice noodle.

 

7. You can require yourself to be accountable to others, but don’t expect accountability from others to you. You can require yourself to be nice to other, but don’t expect the same from others to you. However you decide to treat others, they won’t necessarily do the same in return. You must be very clear on this, or you’ll be very disappointed unnecessarily.

8. I’ve been buying the Lotto for almost twenty years, but still poor. I had never got the third prize even once. So remember, you have to work hard to be successful. There’s no free lunch in the world.

9. You got your family by karma and it happens only once. Please treasure every moment we spend together, because we don’t know how long it will last. After this lifetime, we won’t see each other anymore.

 

Michael Leung
