     Once I studied a short story that gave me a great lesson. I want the reader to get experience from this story. My mom had only one eye. I hated her... she was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family. 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. So 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 didn't respond!! I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was in full of anger I wanted to be out of that house.. So I studied really hard , got a chance to go to Singapore to study. Then, I got married, I bought a house 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! 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 neighbours said that she died. I did not shed a single tear!!. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.

The letter:

"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."

I didn't expect the end, and while i was readyin' it, I got shocked when i knew that eye was for her mom not for his.

It's a instructive story:). Our parens usually want the best things for us. But we wan't to be in control we want to do everything without their help. We can't understand their "stupid" negative precepts. We think about them sometimes they're so paranoid but they worry about us. Everything what they do is for us:).
