Do we ever take the time to ponder over the thought that what goes around, comes around? Very often, we undertake certain actions without being completely aware of the impact they have on other people. Luckily, life finds a way to remind us that we should be a bit more considerate.

After the passing of his father, one man decided he couldn’t take care of his mom any longer, so he made the difficult decision to take her to a nursing home. However, he didn’t visit very often, only occasionally. Little did he know, this would come back to haunt him.

One day, he received a call that his mom’s health had deteriorated. He rushed to the nursing home to be by her side. He entered her room and asked if there was anything he could do for her.

His mother looked straight into his eyes and shared her final wishes. She explained that the fans in the room didn’t work properly, causing her to suffocate at times. She also mentioned that the refrigerator needed to be changed because there were days when she fell asleep hungry due to expired food. These were small requests, but they meant the world to her.

The son was taken aback by his mother’s requests. He had assumed that she wasn’t fully aware of her deteriorating health. He asked her why she hadn’t mentioned these issues before. But now, it was too late.

His mother, with kindness in her eyes, responded, “I know I will die, but I think of you when your children won’t want you next to them either. They too will bring you to a nursing home, and then you will understand. What you offer is what you get. Don’t forget that.”

Her words shattered the son’s heart into a million pieces. He realized the mistake he had made by leaving his mother at the nursing home against her will.

This story serves as a powerful reminder that it is our responsibility to ensure that our parents spend their golden years in a way that brings them happiness. It is a testament to a mother’s unwavering love for her children.

Let this be a wake-up call for all of us to appreciate and cherish our parents while we still can. Share this story with your family and friends on Facebook to remind them of the profound impact of a mother’s love.

Remember, what goes around comes around. Let’s choose kindness and compassion, not just for our parents, but for everyone around us.

Love and Peace.
