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 couldnโt take care of his mom any longer so he made the decision to take her to a nursing home. She wasnโt happy there and he didnโt visit very often, just occassionally.
One day, he got a call that his momโs health deteriorated. She didnโt 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 motherโs 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 mom then explained that she wanted the fans changed because they didnโt work properly and she used to suffocate at times. โIf you could change the refrigerator tooโฆ There were days when I fell asleep hungry because the food had expiredโฆ,โ she added.
The son was surprised. He thought that his mother wasnโt aware that she was dying. He then asked her why she didnโt tell him all about that before. Now it was too late.
The mother then looked in his eyes and said, โI know I will die, but I think of you when your children wonโt want you next to them eitherโฆ And they will bring you hereโฆThen, you will find better conditionsโฆ What you offer is what you getโฆ Donโt forgetย that.โ
These words broke the sonโs 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.
