He hadn’t seen his mother in a long time until one day when it was revealed that she wasn’t feeling well, and he wanted to visit her. The woman reacted positively to his shocking question about what else he could do for her.
Because our personal lives are now accessible on social media, one man chose to share a very compelling narrative with the entire world to prevent others from making the same mistake he did. When he abandoned his mother, she was in a nursing home, and her dying wish was for his son to improve his dire condition.
“After my father died, I thought putting my mother in a nursing home was the best action. I completely agree that I was self-centered since I didn’t want my life to depend on her, and I am deeply sorry for not even considering her life or comfort.”
“So, when the time came, and I discovered Mom wasn’t doing well, I raced to the nursing home and was able to say goodbye in a way I could never have imagined.”
“I asked her if there was anything else I could do to help her because her eyes were getting smaller and smaller, and I could feel a tear welling up in my spirit. She claimed that the sole reason she wanted to renovate that nursing home was that she couldn’t eat because the freezers were broken, couldn’t breathe in the heat and humidity because the fans had failed, and couldn’t sleep because the springs slipped in her back.”
“I felt the world shake beneath my feet as I heard her words, and I couldn’t understand why she was telling me this now rather than when I might have done things for her sake. I also received a response that transformed my life forever.”
“She urged me to be careful with what I left behind and mentioned that she wants to modernize the nursing home because she is scared that my children will abandon me there one day and I will go through what she did.” “You get what you give,” she said.
