Touching storry - Mother
My mother had only one eye. I hated her .. she was embarrassment for us. In the school she cooked the food for the students and teachers.
One day, when I was still a kid, she entered in my class to say hello. I was very embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I ignored her, and gave her a look full of hatred. Later my friends from the class teased me .... "Wow your mom only has one eye!" I just wanted my mom to simply disappear ... When I saw her later I told her, "they laughed at me because of you, I want you to die!"
My mother did not answer anything ...
I didn't think even for a moment about what I said, I was so full of anger. I was not interested in her feelings ... I wanted to go away from home and to never see her again.
Later in life I learned a lot and got a chance to go to Singapore studies ... I was lucky. Got married, bought a house and got the kids. I was happy with my life and everything around him even though I lived in a foreign country.
But one day, my mother came to visit me ... she didn't saw me in years, nor she had seen her grandchildren. She appeared at the door of my house. My children began to laugh at her. I only yell why she came, uninvited.
I yelled - "How dare you to come to my house and scare my children? Get out of here, now!"
My mother just quietly answered - "Sorry, I must be in a wrong house"- and she was gone ...
And so one day, after a few years I was invited back to my birthplace for the graduation anniversary. I lied to my wife that I have to go on a business trip. After the celebration, just out of a curiosity, I went to our old house. When I saw the neighbors, they told me that my mother died. I didn't dropped a tear. She handed me a letter saying it was from her ...
My dear son,
I thought of you the whole time.
Forgive me that I have come to you home and scared your children.
I was glad to hear that you succeeded in life and that you come home to celebrate.
I may not be able to get out of bed to see you.
I'm sorry that I was always a burden and embarrassment.
You see, when you were a kid you had a small accident in which you lose one eye.
As a mother, I could not bear to grow you without one eye.
Doctors I examined and they told me that it is possible.
I then gave you one of my eyes ...
I was so proud that my son sees the world for me, with that eye.
With love for you always ...
Your Mother ...

5 situations in which I feel awkward
5. Friend in a bus or metro
When I drive in the bus or metro I want to listen to music and relax myself. But, often it happens to meet some friend who I know well enough to must say hello, but not well enough to talk about anything more than “Hi, How are you”. It is rude to not talk to him so you are stuck with awkward conversations like:
“Hey, What’s up?”
“Nothing, I’m going home from work”
“Me too.”
(awkward pause)
“Remember when we were on that party?”
“Not that much. It was good I think”
“Yeah”
(awkward pause)
You both feel very uncomfortable, but you can’t just put your headphones and listen to music. So you are counting the minutes when your station comes to get out.
So family events like birthdays, holidays etc. usually bring together a lot of old people like parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, people with I don’t have much in common. In my family they always want to know a lot about your private life and ask you direct and stupid questions, probably because they feel like they know you all their life and you are “family”.
“When are you going to bring your girlfriend?”
“You don’t have a girlfriend? When are you going to get one? It’s time.”
“You need to marry faster what are you waiting for? We can’t watch out your kids when we are old.”
“You still have that shitty job? When are you going to quit and get a real job?”
“Hey, What’s up?”
“Nothing, I’m going home from work”
“Me too.”
(awkward pause)
“Remember when we were on that party?”
“Not that much. It was good I think”
“Yeah”

4. Family events
So family events like birthdays, holidays etc. usually bring together a lot of old people like parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, people with I don’t have much in common. In my family they always want to know a lot about your private life and ask you direct and stupid questions, probably because they feel like they know you all their life and you are “family”.
“When are you going to bring your girlfriend?”
“You don’t have a girlfriend? When are you going to get one? It’s time.”
“You need to marry faster what are you waiting for? We can’t watch out your kids when we are old.”
“You still have that shitty job? When are you going to quit and get a real job?”
I have come to a solution for this though. I always come drunk on such events.
“I didn’t. Don’t you know that Facebook is having problems these couple of days,”
which can end with..
“You deleted me like 2 months ago, did Facebook also had problems than?”
3. Keeping secret from a good friend
A good friend tells me that he cheated on his girlfriend, who also is my good friend. So, now he feels relieved. But, what should I do with that information. I will now always feel awkward when I meet his girlfriend. I feel pressure and my conscience is killing me. After a month or two this feelings fade away, but is still pretty awkward keeping secrets that may hurt your friends.2. Why you deleted/blocked me?
The answer is simple (you are spammer with no sense of humor). But the real awkwardness comes when you meet this person face to face and the person asks this question in front of your buddies, who can’t wait to see what are you going to say. So you can lie:“I didn’t. Don’t you know that Facebook is having problems these couple of days,”
which can end with..
“You deleted me like 2 months ago, did Facebook also had problems than?”
No matter what you say this is awkward, but at the end of the day it’s my right to delete anyone who annoys or spams me.
1. Invites to like website/product/event
It doesn’t feel awkward when they are inviting me in the normal way. The awkwardness comes when they are spamming on chat with “please like this”, “come to have fun here”.. And the new “seen” option just makes you feel more awkward. You know, that they know, that you don’t give a sh*t about their product, web site or event.
