A story about a son who left his mother in an asylum reveals a profound lesson about love and regret. After his father’s death, the son decided to place his mother in a care facility. But one day, he received a call that changed everything – his mother was dying.
During their final conversation, the son realized the depth of his mistake. This poignant story was shared on social media by a Romanian user, touching thousands of hearts and prompting many to share it further.
Here’s the story that moved so many:
“After his father passed away, a son took his mother to an asylum. He visited her occasionally. One day, he was called urgently because his mother was on her deathbed.
With tears in his eyes, the son asked his mother what he could do for her. She responded, ‘Spread love around you and please change the fans in this asylum; they don’t work. There were days I felt suffocated in these walls, devoid of love and filled with loneliness. And one more thing…’
‘Please replace the refrigerators too. There were days I went to bed hungry because the food had expired.’
The son, overwhelmed with emotion, promised, ‘I will do everything you ask, Mother. But why tell me this now, when you are dying? Why didn’t you say anything earlier?’
Her response was heart-wrenching: ‘I am dying, but I think of you. One day, your children might not want you by their side either, and they might bring you here. I want you to find better conditions. What you give, you receive. Don’t forget that.'”
This powerful message, shared on a personal social media account, resonates deeply. It reminds us of the importance of compassion and the lasting impact of our actions on those we love.
