Do
we ever stop to reflect on the idea that what goes around, comes around? Often,
we take actions without fully understanding their impact on others.
Fortunately, life has a way of reminding us to be more considerate.
After
his father passed away, one man felt unable to care for his mother and made the
difficult decision to move her into a nursing home. Unfortunately, she was
unhappy there, and he only visited occasionally, feeling unable to provide the
attention she needed.
One
day, he received a call informing him that his mother's health had deteriorated
significantly. She was not doing well at all, and it seemed like she was in her
final days.
The
son rushed to the nursing home and went straight to his mother's room. He asked
her if there was anything he could do for her.
The
mother looked into her son's eyes and expressed a few requests. Hearing this,
he assured her that he was more than willing to fulfill her final wishes.
The
mother elaborated that she desired the fans to be replaced due to their
malfunctioning, which often caused her discomfort. "Could you also
consider replacing the refrigerator? There were occasions when I went to bed
hungry as the food had gone bad," she recounted.
The
son was taken aback. He had assumed his mother was unaware of her deteriorating
health. He then inquired why she hadn't shared this information with him
earlier. Now, however, it seemed too late for any action.
Gazing
into her son's eyes, the mother solemnly stated, "I understand my time is
limited, but I also think about your future, when your own children may
distance themselves from you. They may bring you to a similar place, where
you'll find improved circumstances. Remember, what you give is what you
receive. Keep that in mind."
Her
words shattered the son's heart into countless fragments. He realized his
mistake in placing his mother in the nursing home against her wishes.
It's
crucial to always remember that it's our duty to ensure our parents spend their
golden years in a manner that brings them joy and fulfillment.
