After bringing his mother to an assisted living facility, a son would occasionally pay her a visit.
A son moved his mother into an assisted living facility, and he visited her from time to time.
The Son decided to leave his mother behind and only see her occasionally after his father went away.
He once received a call from an assisted living facility asking him to “please come for a visit, Mom.”
Son went to see his mother, who was laying in bed and was quite sick.
What can I do to help you, Mom? He asked. Mom answered, “Please install fans in the old age home; there aren’t any.” Install a refrigerator as well to keep food fresh, as I used to go to bed hungry.” Mom, why are you telling me all this now that you only have a few hours left?” asked his amazed son. You never voiced any complaints during your time here.
Mom said, “It’s okay, sweetheart, I’ve handled the heat, hunger, and pain, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle when your kids send you here.”
She gave me a strong warning to be careful with what I left behind and told me that the reason she wants to modernize the old age home is because she was afraid that maybe one day my children would abandon me there and I would experience the same things she did. “What you give is what you get,” was her final statement.
