Mathrudevobhava _ Can anyone replace a Mother?

Yesterday, my husband showed me a posting entitled, A Mother's Story. It is really heart-touching story of a mother's love. Here is the lady blinded in one eye. She had a son who had least concern about his mother. Instead of sympathizing with his mother, he always insulted her. One day, she went to his school to meet his son. Seeing her, his friends started commenting about her blindness. The boy rushed to his house and shouted at his mother. Why did you come to my school with your ugly face? I felt ashamed when my friends were describing your face. Instead of living in this way, you better die. She never expressed her feelings in front of him. It was night. After some time, he went to kitchen to drink water and found his mother weeping all alone. Without any concern towards her, he went back to his room and slept happily. Days were going on. Of course, he was good at studies, got good marks, grew up, got good job elsewhere. He just left his mother to her fate, reached the place where he got the job. He married and got two children too. He felt he could get rid of his mother. One day, there was a knock at the door. His daughter opened the door. She went back to call her father. He was shocked to see his mother. He pretended as if he did not know her. Started shouting, who are you? My daughter is scared to see your horrible face. Leave my house immediately. On hearing his voice, she said, I'm very sorry, sir. I came to a wrong address. Then she disappeared. That ungrateful son thought she did not recognize him. Days were going on. One day, he received an invitation from his old school. There was some old student gathering. He went there and enjoyed with his friends. Before going to his city, he went to see his old house. He found his mother lying on the floor. There was a letter in her hands. He opened the letter and read the contents. My dear son, I may not live for many days. Before my death, I want to reveal the truth of my blindness. I was not born blind as you thought. When you were a small kid, we met with an accident. You lost vision in one of your eyes. I requested the doctor to replace it with mine. The doctor agreed. Operation was successful. How can I express my happiness when you were looking the whole world with your two eyes? I know you don't want me to come to your house, right? But at least you come and see your mother. Be happy with your family. After reading the content in the letter, he wept bitterly. How ungrateful I was. Why didn't you tell me this when I was insulting you? Let me wash off my sins. I will never leave you, my dear mom. Let's go, mom. I will take you to our house in the city. You can spend your time with your grandchildren. When he touched her body, he felt it was cold. This story made me feel why parents don't want to reveal their sacrifices to their children. Why is this communication gap between parents and children? If she had told her son about this incident at the right time, her son's treatment towards her would have been different. Anyway, this is the true love of a mother. Every one of us must realize the fact that we should be loyal to our parents.
