Message: <blockquote data-quote="choppe" data-source="post: 9875060" data-attributes="member: 59712">Read it  very carefully ...... very touchingThis story begins when I  was a child: I was born poor.  Often we hadn't enough to eat. Whenever we  had some food, Mother often  gave me her portion of rice. While she was  transferring her rice into  my bowl, she would say "Eat this rice, son!  I'm not hungry." This was Mother's First Lie. As I grew, Mother gave up her spare time to fish in a river near our   house; she hoped that from the fish she caught, she could give me a   little bit more nutritious food for my growth. Once she had caught just   two fish, she would make fish soup. While I was eating the soup, mother   would sit beside me and eat the what was still left on the bone of the   fish I had eaten, My heart was touched when I saw it. Once I gave the   other fish to her on my chopstick but she immediately refused it and   said, "Eat this fish, son! I don't really like fish." This was Mother's Second Lie. Then, in order to fund  my education, Mother went to a Match Factory to  bring home some used  matchboxes, which she filled with fresh  matchsticks. This helped her get  some money to cover our needs. One  wintry night I awoke to find Mother  filling the matchboxes by  candlelight. So I said, "Mother, go to sleep;  it's late: you can  continue working tomorrow morning." Mother smiled and  said "Go to  sleep, son! I'm not tired." This was Mother's Third Lie. When I had to sit my  Final Examination, Mother accompanied me. After  dawn, Mother waited for  me for hours in the heat of the sun. When the  bell rang, I ran  to meet her.. Mother embraced me and poured me a glass  of tea that she  had prepared in a thermos. The tea was not as strong  as my Mother's  love, Seeing Mother covered with perspiration, I at once  gave her my  glass and asked her to drink too. Mother said "Drink, son!  I'm not  thirsty!". This was Mother's Fourth Lie. After Father's death,  Mother had to play the role of a single parent.  She held on to her  former job; she had to fund our needs alone. Our  family's life was more  complicated. We suffered from starvation. Seeing  our family's condition  worsening, my kind Uncle who lived near my  house came to help us solve  our problems big and small. Our other  neighbors saw that we were poverty  stricken so they often advised my   mother to marry again. But Mother refused to remarry saying "I don't   need love." This was Mother's Fifth Lie. After I had finished my  studies and gotten a job, it was time for my  old Mother to retire but  she carried on going to the market every  morning just to sell a few  vegetables. I kept sending her money but she  was steadfast and even sent  the money back to me. She said, "I have  enough money." That was Mother's Sixth Lie. I continued my  part-time studies for my Master's  Degree. Funded by the  American Corporation for which I worked, I  succeeded in my studies.  With a big jump in my salary, I decided to  bring Mother to enjoy life  in America but Mother didn't want to bother  her son; she said to me  "I'm not used to high living." That was Mother's Seventh Lie. In her dotage, Mother  was attacked by cancer and had to be  hospitalized. Now living far across  the ocean, I went home to visit  Mother who was bedridden after an  operation. Mother tried to smile but I  was heartbroken because she was  so thin and feeble but Mother said,  "Don't cry, son! I'm not in pain." That was Mother's Eighth Lie. Telling  me this, her eighth lie, she died. YES, MOTHER WAS AN ANGEL! M - O -  T - H - E - R "M"is for the Million things she  gave me, "O" means  Only that she's growing old, "T" is  for the Tears she shed to save me, "H" is  for her Heart of gold, "E" is  for her Eyes with love-light shining in them, "R" means  Right, and right she'll always be. Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER"a word that means the world to me. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /> </blockquote>
