Adam hadn’t visited his mother, Diana, for years after moving to New York for college. She raised him alone in California, working hard to support his education. Despite their initial close connection, their communication dwindled over time.

When Adam graduated, he invited Diana, who was thrilled but financially strained. Determined to attend, she took on extra babysitting jobs, eventually saving enough for a ticket and a watch as a gift. In New York, they celebrated his graduation, and Adam promised to visit home soon, but his calls eventually stopped.

Years later, needing documents for his new firm, Adam returned to California unannounced. He found their home destroyed and learned from a neighbor that Diana had moved to a nursing home after a storm. Overwhelmed with guilt, Adam visited her, apologizing for his neglect. Diana, though frail, tried to comfort him.

Adam vowed to never leave her again. He repaired their home, moved his mother out of the nursing home, and relocated his business to California. They lived together happily, with Adam and his girlfriend caring for Diana, who helped around the house.

Adam’s regret led to a heartfelt reunion, ensuring his mother was never alone again.
