On 4th February 2017, I happened to attend the annual day function at the school of my daughters'. The chief guest of the event narrated a poignant story which is as under:
There lived a widowed woman with her son. She lost her husband, when she was quite young but she chose to refrain from getting married again for the sake of her son. Since she had only one eye, her son abhorred her to the core. At one point of time, he made up his mind to live separately. Then, he graduated from the university, got a lucrative job, got married, begot children and started leading a happy life with his family. He had been happily living without even a thought about his partially blind mother.
One fine day his mother knocked at his door. He was quite appalled to see his mother. He didn't want his wife to understand that it was his mother. Hence, he bluntly told his mother that he was not the one who was wanted by her. The old lady went off without even uttering a word.
Months later, he received an invitation from his school for a reunion. He joyously attended the event. He then wanted to visit the house, where he was raised by his one-eyed mother. Through the neighbours, he came to know that his mother had died few months back. His mother had left him a letter, which the neighbours gave him. The letter read as under:
"My dear son! Decades back, when your Dad, you and I were on a trip, we met with an accident. I lost my husband in that accident. I escaped with minor injuries and you lost one of your eyes in that accident. I didn't want to see my beloved son being physically challenged. Hence, I donated one of my eyes to you. Later, one of my very own eyes didn't even want to look at my partially blind, awful face!"
The greatest boon which The Almighty bestows on any human being is nothing but the unconditional love of the parents. Unfortunately, many people throw askance at the peerless boons bestowed on by The Almighty! Let us all hail & adore the boons bestowed on us by God!
