eye.I hated her, she
was such an
embarrasment.My mom
owned a small shop at a
flee market.She
collected little weeds
and other disgraceful
minor things to sell.She
did anything to get the
money we needed, she
was such an
embarrasment.There
was this one day during
elementary school, I
remember it was field
day, and my mom
came.I was so so
embarrassing.How could
she do this to me??? I
threw her a hateful look
and ran out of the
class.The next day at
school '' Your mom has
only one eye!!! '' was
the anthem.
I wished that my mom
would just dissappear
from this world so i said
to her '' Mom, Why don't
u have the other eye?
U're only going to make
me a laughingstock,
Why don't u just die!
''.My mother didn't
respond, I guess i felt a
little bad, but at the
same time, it felt good
to think that i had said
what i'd wanted to say
all this time.
Maybe it was because
my mom had not
punished me, but i didn't
think i had hurt her
feelings very badly.
That night...I woke up,
and went to the kitchen
to get a glass of
water.My mother was
crying there, so quietly,
as if she was afraid
that she might wake
me.I took a look at her,
and then turned
away.Because of the
thing i had said to her
earlier, there was
something pinching me
at every 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 mother and our
abject poverty.
Then i studied really
hard.I left my mother,
came to seoul to study,
got admitted in seoul
university, came out in
flying colours and got
married.I bought a
house of my own, then i
had kids too.Now i'm
living happily with my
family.I like it here
cause it takes me far
away from my one
eyed mother.
The happiness was
getting bigger and
stronger until one day
when my houseboy told
me someone was
looking for me at the
door.'' What!!! Who is
this!!! '' It was my
mother......Still with her
one eye.I felt as if the
ground should just open
and swallow her.My
little girl ran away,
scared of my mom's
eye.
And then i shouted at
her '' Who are u!!! What
do u want!!! Do i know
u?!!! How dare u come in
here to scare my
daughter!!! Leave here
now!!! '' And to this my
mother quietly
answered '' Oh i'm
sorry.I must have
gotten the wrong
address '' and she
dissappeared.Thank
goodness...she doesn't
recognise me.I was
quite relieved.I told
myself that i wasn't
going to care or think
about this for the rest
of my life.
From that day onward, i
was happy.On a certain
day, a letter regarding a
school renunion came, i
lied to my wife that i
was going on a business
trip.After the renunion, i
went down to the old
shack that i used to call
a house.On getting
there, i saw my mother
dead at the frontage,
but i didn't shed a
tear.She had a piece of
paper in her hand...It
was a letter to me.
My son,
I think my life has been
long enough now.And.....I
won't visit seoul
anymore.
But, as a woman that
raised u as a child, i
thought u would deem
it fit to see me once in a
while.
I miss u so much.
And i was so glad when
i heard u were coming
for the renunion.
But i decided not to go
to the school so i would
not disgrace u.
I'm sorry for having one
eye and being an
embarrassment to u all
this years.
You see, when u were
very little, you got into
an accident and lost ur
eye.
As a mother, I couldn't
stand watching u spend
ur latter days with one
eye.......SO I GAVE U MINE.
I was so proud of my
son seeing a whole new
world, for me, in my
place, with that eye.
I was never upset at u
for anything u did.
Even when i came to ur
house and u rejected
me, i thought to myself
'' It's because he loves
me ''.
I miss when u were
young and we were
together.
I miss u so much.
I love u.
Hope we meet again.
My world shattered!
Then i cried for the one
who saved me from
being a person of
shame......MY MOTHER..
Reply with 'I LOVE YOU MUM' if u love ur mum and enjoy d story.
