Dear All,
Long story but please read if you have time for itÂ…Â…very sad and touchingÂ…..blessed allÂ…Â…^_^
Hi FriendsÂ….a very touching and sad storyÂ….please read with patience and sympathy
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
During the war of Iraq and U.SÂ…Â…there was a family of three happily living together in their country-side hut when the son was called upon by the army to fight the warÂ…Â…
the son was more than willing to leave behind the aged parents and fulfill the war in the name of Lord and DutiesÂ…..
Came the day, the son happily packed his bag and his mum was in all tears to see her son leaveÂ…..
Gone were 1 month and there was about 2 – 4 safety calls home….
Gone were 3 months and there was no response from the army to the aged parentsÂ…..
Gone were 6 months and the parents are in despair as they watch the news of bombs and bodies in IraqÂ….
Came one day when the 2 elderly was watching the T.V news reporting that Saddam was caughtÂ…..
The phone rangÂ….
‘ Helo, mum …is it you??!!! The background sound was extremely noisy…..pzzzzzzzzzz…..zzzz..zzzz
The mother was harping with joy when at the very moment she could recognise the very voice of her dear sonÂ…..
Sobbing…. “ yes…. ss…..my dear child….r u alright…….are u coming home now……”
The son “ oh mum….i am fine, the war is over and I will be coming home…..i miss all you and dad….
hope you are fine and well…..pzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz………….zzzzzzzzzzzz………..”
The mother “ we are very fine….my dear child, pls come home….we miss u so much…..tears of
joy falling from the cheek…..”(sob sob)
The son “yes mum, I will be home first thing tomorrow on the flight home…..but mum….(pzzzzzzzzz…..)
I have a requestÂ…Â…I have a soul mate with meÂ….(pzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) he has been with me
during the whole fight and he protected me when there are bombs and gunshots towards meÂ…..
he is my best pal and best partner in my whole journey througout this warÂ….butÂ….(pzzzzzzzzzzzz)Â…Â….
he was injuredÂ….he was handicapped because of me Â…..he can only walk with one legÂ…Â….he has only one armÂ…Â…..(pzzzzzzzzzzÂ…) he can only see with one eyeÂ…..he can only hear with one earÂ…..i need to take care
of him….he was my saviour….Mum….can I bring him home and stay with us….he has no one with him…..Mum…please…..”
The mother “ oh gosh….my dear child…..oh please…..we cant have this person with us….i know
he is a poor child Â….but we are happy with our life in this houseÂ…..we do not wan to have any others Â…..
especially if he is handicap and he cant even look after himselfÂ…..we will not be able to look after himÂ…..
we cant possibly feed himÂ…..walk himÂ…..wash himÂ…..every now and thenÂ…..my childÂ….maybe the
U.S army will plan something for this kid and it would be better for him instead of staying with usÂ…..
we are old and aged….we don’t have the energy and strength to take care of someone like that….my child…..”
At the other end of the phone, paused and quietÂ…Â…Â…
The mother “ R u there …my son….please think about your aged parents here and reconsider your request
to bring ur friend back, helo….r u there……helo…..”
The son “Yes my mother….i understood…..i know….u take care ……” the phone went dead…….
The next dayÂ….the aged parents went happily to the U.S Army Headquarters to check out the sonÂ’s schedule
and awaits for the beloved son to come home with themÂ…..
They waited at the Lobby and was told that the troop flight will be back later in the nightÂ…..they waited
and waited Â…to see their only childÂ…..
Came midnight and the troop was back for reportingÂ….there were no sight of their childÂ….they checked helplessly with
the officer in charge of the troopÂ….
Officer replied:“oh…..my lord…may God Bless You”….and handed them an envelope…..
In the envelope was a letter and it read :-
Dear Mum and Dad,
I am sorryÂ….i do not wan to burden youÂ….i was heavily injured and was bombed on the 1st month during the war
Â….i was hospitalised for 6 months and doctor managed to get me back on life but my right side of the body was
badly burned, cut and sew and I cant move my limbs anymoreÂ….i have to eat with one armÂ….walk with one legÂ….
see with one eye Â…..hear with one earÂ….i cant wash and clean myselfÂ…..i cant bear to let 2 aged parents look
after me for the rest of my lifeÂ….so I decided to leaveÂ…Â…
The picture accompanied with the letter was a gunshot pic of the son committing suicide just after a phone call
he made in the guard room yesterdayÂ…Â…Â…Â….. -
