sad story ihad written (only eye) part2

[Pax]

I turned to my mom and asked her, “Who are you? I don’t know you!!!†I really wished that was true. “How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter?†I screamed at her, “Get out of here now!†My mother quietly answered, “Oh, I’m so sorry. I must have the wrong address.†She turned and walked away. i watched as she slowly made her way down the street and disappeared around the corner. Thank goodness, I said to myself. She didn’t recognize 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. One day, many years later, I received a letter in the mail. It was informing me that my class was having a school reunion. I wanted to see all my old friends from school so I decided to attend. After the reunion finished, I decided to pay a visit to the house where I had grown up, just out of curiosity. When I got there, the house was empty and falling to ruin. The neighbors said that my mother had died a few years before. I did not shed a single tear. Then, they handed me a sealed envelope. They said that my mother had wanted me to have it. I opened it and read the note inside. “My son, I think my life has been long enough now. I won’t try to visit you in Seoul anymore, but would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to come visit me once in a while? I was so glad to see your face once again. I miss you so much. You mean the world to me. I have always been so proud of you, my son. I am sorry that I only have one eye, and that I was such an embarrassment to you all your life. You see, when you were very little, you got into an accident and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn’t stand to watch you grow up with only one eye, so I gave you mine. I never regretted my decision. How could I? When you love someone, their happiness is far more important than your own…†There was more in the letter, but I couldn’t continue reading. The slip of paper fell from my shaking hands and I collapsed to my knees, sobbing like a little boy. end pls rate
