| I found this interesting -- A mother's love. 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. I confronted her that day and said, ' If you're only goanna 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 walked out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad 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. 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 your house 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 all my love to you, Your mother. "Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can break your heart" This time, last week, we were still "quite close." This time last week, Thursday 21st, I woke up at K's place thinking when I would see him next, if all that he said were true. That day, was OB exam day. That day, I was soon to find out, was also the last day that we would sit down, and talk, normally...and also the last time I'd be on the 16th floor of Duchess *****.
Thinking back to the short days that really did give me hope; the words, the actions...I really don't know how to say what kind of feelings I am going through can?! On the Friday (dentist appt day), I already felt enough like an idiot - walking.... sitting.....carrying the stupid bag of food and cup of Iced tea waiting....waiting....for nothing!.....they just left.....without notice.....just like that. In fact, it had been a whole week of dissapointing waits each ending in tears. If I hadn't yet experienced what 'betrayal' meant, I think i knew what it felt like at that point. It was awful...really awful! And then I found out one day later what betrayal REALLY MEANT. All those words meant nothing. All those promises meant nothing. All those trips....all those....Everything i thought the eyes' told me, meant nothing. At times like this, I think I just really wanted to give my self two god damn slaps to bring me back to reality for once again, I fell into a trap.....and very quickly too...the second time......(retribution?)
After a week, I'm finally at home, and I'm finally able to not 乱想. The day the "result" became known to me was the day that really just stabbed my heart. There's was ....felt like...what was just this massive hole..... The thing that pisses the crap oout of me is how that one person can pretend nothing happened and that we're suppose to just go back and be "just friends." HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLO! Words should NOT be thrown or used so easily. If there's a good quote recommendation now, I'd say "think before you speak"... because words really can break a person's heart..........
