Life is Beautiful….

My mom only had one eye. I hated her… She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to supportthe 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 gonna 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 wasoblivious to her feelings. I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance togo 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 tovisit 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 herfor 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 mayhave 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 union, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity. My neighbours 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 seeinga whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.
With all my love to you,
Your mother.’
MORAL LESSON:
Always LOVE your parents. They are a blessing to you.

It was their anniversary, and Maryam was waiting for her husband Bilal to show up. Things had changed since their marriage, the once cute, Couldn’t-live without-each-other couple had turned bitter…
Fighting over every little thing, both didn’t like the way things had changed. Maryam was waiting to see if Bilal remembered it was their anniversary! Just as the door bell rang she ran to find her husband, wet and smiling with a bunch of flowers in his hand. The two started reliving the old days. Making up for fights, there was then plans for dinner, a walk on the beach and much more. And rain outside! It was just perfect.

But the magical moment was paused when the phone in the bedroom rang. Maryam went to pick it up and it was a man. “Hello ma’am, I’m calling from the police station. Is this Mr Bilal Mahomed’ number?” “Yes it is!” “Im sorry mam; but there was an accident and a man died. We got this number from his wallet; we need u to come and identify his body.” Maryam’s heart sank… WHAT ON EARTH!!!! “But my husband is here with me?” “Sorry mam, but the incident took place at 2, when he was boarding the subway. Maryam was about to lose her senses. How could this happen!? She knew these type of things she has heard about the soul of the person coming to meet a loved one before it leaves!
She ran into the other room. He was not there. It was true! He had left her for good! Oh God, she would have died for another chance to make amends for every little silly fight before now! She rolled on the floor in pain. She lost her chance! Forever!

Suddenly there was a noise from the bathroom, the door opened and Bilal came out again and said, “Hun, I forgot to tell you my wallet was stolen today”

LIFE MIGHT NOT GIVE U A SECOND CHANCE. SO NEVER WASTE A MOMENT WHEN YOU CAN MAKE UP FOR YOUR DEEDS!!! Let’s start making amends with spouses, With parents, With in-laws, With siblings, With friends, With children, With everyone in short. Share love not hate, you don’t know how long you’ve got to live really.
