A son took his mother to a nursing home, where he visited her from time to time. One day he was called because his mother was not feeling well. Then the son, with tears in his eyes, asked her what he could do for her, and the mother answered:-

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 couldnโ€™t take care of his mom any longer so he made the decision to take her to a nursing home. She wasnโ€™t happy there and he didnโ€™t visit very often, just occassionally.

One day, he got a call that his momโ€™s health deteriorated. She didnโ€™t feel at all. In fact, it looked like she was living the last days of her life.

The son was quick to arrive to the nursing home. He went straight to his motherโ€™s room and asked her if there was something he could do for her.

The mother looked straight into his eyes and said that she had few requests. Hearing that, he said he was more than willing to make her final wish come true.

The mother then looked in his eyes and said, โ€œI know I will die, but I think of you when your children wonโ€™t want you next to them eitherโ€ฆ And they will bring you hereโ€ฆThen, you will find better conditionsโ€ฆ What you offer is what you getโ€ฆ Donโ€™t forget that.โ€

These words broke the sonโ€™s heart into a million pieces. He knew he made a mistake when he left his mother at the nursing home against her will.

We should never forget that it is our responsibility to make sure our parents spend their golden years in a way that makes them happy.
