THE NICE STORY

February 18, 2009

This is a sadness story , I hope when you read it , remember your parent !!

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.

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, and have nothing to do with her.

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, 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 in Singapore .

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,

I dreamed I had an interview with god.
God asked
So you would like to interview me
I said ,If you have the time
God smiled
My time is eternity
What questions do you have in mind for me
What surprises you most about human kind
God answered
That they get bored with child hood
They rush to grow up and then ,
long to be children again
That they lose their health to make money
and then
lose their money to restore their health
That by thinking anxiously about the future
They forget the present ,
such that they live in nether the present
And not the future
That they live as if they will never die
and die as if they had never lived
God's hand took mine and
we were silent for a while
And then I asked
As the creator of people
What are some of life lessons you want them to learn
God replied , with a smile
To learn they can not make any one love them
but they can do is let themselves be loved
T o learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others
To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most
but is one who needs the least
To learn that it takes only a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love
, and it takes many years to heal them
To learn to forgive by practicing for giveness
T o learn that there are persons who love them dearly
But simly do not know how to express or show their feelings
T o learn that two people can look at the same thing
and see it differently
To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by others
The must forgive themselves
And to learn that I am here
ALWAYS
@@@@@@@@@ hope you like and enjoy@@@@@@@@
