Do any of us ever pause to consider the idea that whatever we release into the universe will ultimately come back to us? We regularly act in certain ways without fully understanding how those actions may influence other people. Fortunately, life always manages to find a way to remind us that we could stand to be a little more considerate.

After the death of his own father, one man came to the realization that he could no longer care for his mother. He decided to provide his mother with nursing home care as a result. He did not frequently return there, and she did not find happiness there.

He got a call one day telling him that his mother’s condition had deteriorated. She was completely emotionless. She appeared to be in the last moments of her earthly life.

In a fairly short period, the son came to the nursing home. He wasted no time and immediately entered his mother’s room to see if there was anything he could do to help.

Before telling her son she had a few requests, the mother peered deeply into his eyes. When he learned that, he exclaimed that he would do whatever in his power to fulfill her last wish.

The mother continued by saying that because the previous fans weren’t working properly, she frequently felt like she was going to suffocate and that she needed new ones. “If you could also swap out the refrigerator… I went to bed starving on several occasions since the food had beyond its expiration date, the woman added.

The son was surprised by it. He got the feeling that his mother didn’t know that she was dying. Then, he asked her why she hadn’t told him about that sooner and the reason she hadn’t. It was too late to go back at this point.

The mother said, “I know I will die, but I think of you when your children won’t want you near them either… ” Then she turned her head to look directly into his eyes. Don’t worry; they will bring you here. After that, you’ll find better circumstances… You receive out of anything that you put into it. Keep it in mind, please.

Hearing these comments broke the son’s heart completely and irreparably. He was well aware that he had made a grave mistake by putting his mother in a nursing home against her desires.

Never forget that it is our responsibility to ensure that our elderly parents enjoy their golden years to the utmost extent that we are able to care for them.
