   My mother was a cleaner in our school dining hall when I was in the middle school. At that time she was such an embarrassment (难堪) to me not only because of her job but also her look. She had only one eye. Every time I saw her in my school, I pretended (假装) not to see her and ran away.

After leaving school, I got a good job in another city. Then I got married and had two kids. I told my family that my parents had been dead, so they never saw my mother, even her photo. But one day, I got a letter. It read:

My dear son Jeff, I’m sorry to disturb you, but I really miss you all the time. I’m afraid that I will have no chance to see you again. I’m sorry that I was always an embarrassment to you when you were growing up. However, I had no choice. When you were very young, you had an accident and lost an eye. As a mother, I couldn’t stand that you would have to grow up with only one eye. So I ... I was proud of my son who was enjoying his beautiful world for me with that eye. With all my love to you! Mom
