My mom only had one eye. I hated her ⋯ she was such an embarrassment. My mom ran a small shop at a flea market. She collected little weeds and such to sell ⋯ anything for the money we needed.
There was this one day during elementary school. I remember that it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this tome? I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school⋯ “Your mom only has one eye?!” and they taunted me.
I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to my mom. “Why don’t you have the other eye?! You’re only going to make me a laughingstock. Why don’t you just die?” My mom did not respond.
That night. . . I woke up, and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. My mom was crying there, so quietly, as if she was afraid that she might wake me. I took a look at her, and then away. Because of the thing I had said to her earlier, there was something pinching at me in the center 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.
Then I studied really hard. I left my mother and came to Seoul and studied, and got accepted in the Seoul University with all the confidence I had. Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I’m living happily as a successful man. I like it here because it’s a place that doesn’t remind me of my mom.
This happiness was getting bigger and bigger, when someone unexpected came to see me “What?! Who’s this?!” It was my mother⋯ 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’s eye.
And I asked her, “Who are you? I don’t know you!!” as if I tried to make that real. I screamed at her “How
dare you come to my house and scare my daughter! 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. Thank goodness⋯she doesn’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, 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, just out of curiosity there, I found my mother fallen on the cold ground. She had a piece of paper in her hand. It was a letter tome.
She wrote:
My son, I think my life has been long enough now. And ⋯ I won’t visit Seoul anymore ⋯ 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 ⋯ For you ⋯ I’m sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment for you. 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 only one eye⋯ so I gave you mine ⋯ 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, ‘it’s because he loves me. ’ I miss you so much. I love you. You mean the world tome.
My World Shattered. I hated the person who only lived for me. I cried for My Mother; I didn’t know of anyway that will make up for my worst deeds⋯
