A busy son placed his mother in a nursing home, visiting only occasionally. One day, he got a call that her health was failing. Rushing to her side, he tearfully asked what he could do for her.
She requested better fans and a new fridge, explaining she often struggled to breathe and that spoiled food left her hungry. Shocked, the son asked why she hadn’t told him before.
With a piercing look, she replied, “I know I will die, but I think of you when your children send you here one day… What you give is what you get.”
Her words shattered his heart, making him realize he should have kept her close. Let’s cherish and care for our parents in their final years.
