Mother Loves to Infinity


My mom only had one eye.
I hated her... she was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and 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, "Ewww, your mom only has only 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 going to 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 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 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, 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

Your mother…!!!

True Love

I Believe That Someone, Somewhere is waiting 4 me, just 4 me
 
Girl: Will you pick me up if I ever fell down?
Boy: No.
Girl: Would you wipe away the tears when I’m sad?
Boy: Never.
Girl: Will you still love me when I look my worst?
Boy: Nope.
Girl: At least you’re honest …
 
Boy: I wouldn’t pick you up if you fell because I would catch you before you even hit the ground. I wouldn’t wipe away your tears because I’ll make sure there’s nothing for you to ever be sad about. I wouldn’t love you when you look your worst because that’s impossible. You always look you’re best, even when you think you don’t. I love you more than anything, remember that.

Blind Faith

He was a young boy who lived with his elderly mother. His mother wanted him to learn how to play the piano because she longed to hear her son play for her. She sent her son to a piano teacher who took Smith in under her guidance.


However, there was one small problem because Smith was not musically inclined and therefore was very slow in learning.


The teacher did not have much faith in the boy because of his weakness. The mother was very enthusiastic and every week she would send Smith to the teacher.


One day Smith stopped attending the piano lessons. The teacher thought that he had given up and in fact she was quite pleased since she did not give much hope to Smith. Not long after, the piano teacher was given the task to organize a piano concert in town. She sent out circulars to invite the students and public to attend the event. Suddenly, she received a call from Smith who offered to take part in the concert. The teacher told Smith that he was not good enough and that he was no longer a student since he had stopped coming for lessons.


Smith begged her to give him a chance and promised that he would not let her down.


Finally, she gave in and she put him to play last, hoping that he will change his mind at the last minute. When the big day came, the hall was packed and the children gave their best performance. Finally, it was Smith's turn to play and as his name was announced, he walked in. He was not in proper attire and his hair was not properly groomed.


The teacher was really nervous since Smith's performance could spoil the whole evening's brilliant performance.


As Smith started playing the crowd became silent and was amazed at the skill of this little boy. In fact, he gave the best performance of the evening. At the end of his presentation the crowd and the piano teacher gave him a standing ovation. The crowd asked Smith how he managed to play so brilliantly.


With a microphone in front of him, he said, "I was not able to attend the weekly piano lessons as there was no one to send me because my mother was sick with cancer. She just passed away this morning and I wanted her to hear me play. You see, this is the first time she is able to hear me play because when she was alive she was deaf and now I know she is listening to me. I have to play my best for her!"




When you have a passion and a reason to do something, you will surely excel. You may not be talented or gifted but if you have a strong enough reason to do something, you will be able to tap into your inner God given potential.
