She collected little weeds and such to sell\u2026 anything for the money we needed she was such an embarrassment. There was this one day during elementary school.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>I remember that it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school\u2026 <strong>\u201cYour mom only has one eye?!\u201d and they taunted me.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to my mom, <strong>\u201cMom, why don\u2019t you have the other eye?! You\u2019re only going to make me a laughingstock. Why don\u2019t you just d .ie?\u201d My mom did not respond. I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, it felt good to think that I had said what I\u2019d wanted to say all this time. Maybe it was because my mom hadn\u2019t punished me, but I didn\u2019t think that I had hurt her feelings very badly.\n<h3><span style='\"font-size:' color:>That night\u2026 I woke up, and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. <span style='\"color:'>My mom was crying there, so quietly, as if she was afraid that she might wake me.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>I took a look at her, and then turned away. Because of the thing I had said to her earlier, there was something pinching at me in the corner of my heart. Even so, I hated my mother who was crying out of her one eye. So I told myself that I would grow up and become successful, because I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty.\n<h3><span style='\"font-size:' color:>Then I studied really hard. I left my mother and came to city and studied, and got accepted in the university with all the confidence I had. \n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I\u2019m living happily as a successful man. I like it here because it\u2019s a place that doesn\u2019t remind me of my mom.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>This happiness was getting bigger and bigger, when someone unexpected came to see me <strong>\u201cWhat?! Who\u2019s this?!\u201d It was my mother\u2026 Still with her one eye. It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me. My little girl ran away, scared of my mom\u2019s eye.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>And I asked her, <strong>\u201cWho are you? I don\u2019t know you!!\u201d as if I tried to make that real. I screamed at her. <strong>\u201cHow dare you come to my house and scare my daughter! Get out of here now!!\u201d And to this, my mother quietly answered, <strong>\u201cOh, I\u2019m so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address,\u201d and she disappeared. Thank goodness\u2026 she doesn\u2019t recognize me. I was quite relieved. I told myself that I wasn\u2019t going to care, or think about this for the rest of my life.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Then a wave of relief came upon me\u2026 One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. I lied to my wife saying that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went down to the old shack, that I used to call a house\u2026Just out of curiosity there, I found my mother fallen on the cold ground. But I did not shed a single tear. She had a piece of paper in her hand\u2026. it was a letter to me.\n<p><img fetchpriority='\"high\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter' wp-image-64961 size-full src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/01%5C/63d54b1d85743dd55bcc3b0d69168ef6.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"478\"' height='\"720\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/legendstitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/63d54b1d85743dd55bcc3b0d69168ef6.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><h4><span style='\"font-size:'>She wrote:\n<h5><span style='\"color:'><span style='\"font-size:'>My son,\n<h5><span style='\"color:'><span style='\"font-size:'>I think my life has been long enough now. And\u2026 I won\u2019t visit Seoul anymore\u2026 but would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to come visit me once in a while? I miss you so much. And I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I decided not to go to the school\u2026. For you\u2026 I\u2019m sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment for you.\n<h5><span style='\"color:'><span style='\"font-size:'>You see, when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn\u2019t stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye\u2026 so I gave you mine\u2026 I was so proud of my son that was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye. I was never upset at you for anything you did. The couple times that you were angry with me. I thought to myself, \u2018it\u2019s because he loves me.\u2019 I miss the times when you were still young around me.\n<h5><span style='\"color:'><span style='\"font-size:'>I miss you so much.

I cried for My Mother, I didn\u2019t know of any way that will make up for my worst deeds\u2026\n<blockquote><p><span style='\"font-size:'>Moral: Never Ever hate anyone for their disabilities. Never disrespect your parents, don\u2019t ignore and under estimate their sacrifices. They give us life, they raise us better than they had been, they give and keep trying to give better than they ever had. They never wish unwell for their kids even in their wildest dreams. They always try showing right path and being motivator. Parents give up all for kids, forgive all mistakes made by kids. There is no way to repay what they done for kids, all we can do is try giving what they need and it is just time, love and respect.\n<h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</h4><p>My mom only had one eye.
