Before one day, when it became clear that his mother wasn’t feeling well and wanted to see him, he didn’t see her all that frequently. When he was shocked and asked what else he could do for her, the woman with the last strength replied:.
Because social media accounts today reveal our private lives, one man made the decision to share a very moving story with the entire world in an effort to prevent others from making the same mistake he did. When he abandoned his mother, she was a resident of a nursing home, and before she passed away, she asked her son to do something to change the appalling conditions there.
“I thought it would be best to put my mother in a nursing home after my father passed away. I fully acknowledge that I was selfish because I didn’t want my life to depend on her, and I sincerely apologize for not giving her comfort or life even a moment’s thought.
In order to capture the farewell that I could never have imagined, I hurried to the nursing home when the day finally came and I discovered that she wasn’t doing well.
Her gaze was getting smaller and smaller, and I could feel a tear welling up in my heart, so I asked her what else I could do to make her feel a little better. She explained to me that the only reason she wanted to renovate that nursing home was because there were times when she was left without food because the refrigerators were broken, when she was unable to breathe in the heat and humidity because the fans had broken, and when she was unable to sleep because the springs slid in her back.
Hearing her words made the ground tremble beneath my feet, and I couldn’t figure out why she was telling me this now rather than when I might have done things for her. I also got a response that completely changed my life.
She sternly advised me to be careful with the things I left behind and said that this is why she wants to modernize the nursing home because she was afraid that one day, perhaps, my children would leave me there and I would go through what she did. “What you give is what you get,” she said as she closed. “.
