MOTHER, WHERE DID I GO WRONG? (Final Part)

.....I was about to hang up on the caller in disbelief when he (the doctor) said he'd send the hospital address to me. I got the SMS in few seconds and it was the address of a kidney hospital. Yet, that didn't convince a bit. I felt it was another good tactics of his to lure me into forgiving him because, I was so sure that my husband was not sick neither did he have any problems with his kidneys. So I replied the SMS stating that I would come over at the close of work.

By 3pm I was at the hospital. Truly it was my husband. He was dead. The doctor handed a letter to me in my husband's hand writing. He said my husband had instructed him to hand it over to me.

Still in shock and doubt, I opened the letter. It read..... 

Hi sweetie! I know my now you must have been told that I have  passed away. I wrote this to tell you how much I really loved you and our unborn child and how sorry I am for the way I treated you.

 A month prior to my mother's arrival, I was diagnosed of kidney failure  but, I couldn't bring myself to tell you because I was told I had few months to live. I knew it would hurt you so much and I just didn't want the remaining days I had to live on earth to be full of sorrow, sadness and tears.   I wanted to enjoy myself. I brought mama to the house for the same reason. I wanted to spend time with both of you. It's not like I did not see what mama was doing to you. It's not that I couldn't take her home and make her pay us brief visits occasionally just for you to be happy. I only just wanted her around. That was the main reason why I kept begging you to endure.

When I left the house I had mixed feelings. I was very angry at you and the same time I couldn't bear the loss of my mother. I thought you threw-up on purpose. Now I know it was because of the pregnancy. I really regret my actions. I should have trusted you wouldn't do something like that.  Please try and understand. I really beg for your forgiveness.

Message to My Son:

Honey, I am sorry I wasn't able to see you come to life. It was due to circumstances beyond my control. I want you to please take care of your mummy for me. I know you would be a good boy. Please do not be stubborn like your daddy. Please listen to your mum and take after her in everything except the hatred she has for football. Make sure you become a Chelsea fan Hahahaha... I love you so much and I will always love you!

Mummy! I still cannot believe he is gone forever. I know I have no choice than to face the reality of his death and raising this child all by myself. But I keep asking myself this question......
MOTHER, WHERE DID I GO WRONG?

MOTHER: I have heard your story. It is really a sad one. But my daughter you both lacked forgiveness. It could have changed alot of things. If he had forgiven you, he wouldn't have left you.  If you had  forgiven him, you would have known about his ill health. Perhaps he could have lived a little longer with your support. You see, in life, it takes nothing to forgive and you lose everything when you don't forgive. It may be painful to let go but in the end you'd be glad you did. Unforgiveness does nothing but hurt you and everyone around you.... So.....

Well I was greatly relieved when I woke up to find out that it was only a dream. From then till this very moment I have learnt to forgive even before I get offended.

THE END
