👨‍👩‍👧‍👧Waiting- hurts ☹

 


The fate of parents is to wait for their children. They wait during pregnancy, they wait after school, they wait for them to return home after a night out. They wait as their children start their own lives. They wait for them to come home from work to a warm dinner. They wait with love, with anxiety, and sometimes with fleeting anger that dissipates as soon as they see their children and can embrace them.

Make sure your elderly parents don't have to wait any longer. Visit them, love them, hug the ones who loved you like no one else ever will. Don't keep them waiting; they're expecting this from you.

Because bodies age, but the hearts of parents never grow old. Love them as much as you can. No one will love you like your parents do. ❤️

👩Mother's love♥️

 


Last wish of the Mother

Mother's love is unconditional and lasts for entirety of life. Get inspired with this beautiful story about Mother's love for her child.

A man was offered a job in another state.

He decided to take his mother to a local nursing home.

For the first three months, he came to see her every weekend

But then he kept getting busier and busier.

He even worked on Saturday to have a higher salary at the end of the month.

Traveling such a long way to his home state every weekend started to feel like a burden to him.

It has been a very long time since he last saw his mother…

One day he received a phone call from the nursing home.

“Please come to visit!” The nurse said to him with a very serious tone.

He arrived to find that the condition of his mother was very critical.

Her illness has gotten much more serve while he was busy earning money,

He sat down beside her bed, took her hand and said,

“Mom, please tell me what can I do for you?”

His heart ached with sadness and regret. He knew she might not make it to tomorrow.

“My son, can you install fans in the nursing home? There’s no fans here,” she said.

“Also put a fridge for betterment for food. There’s many time I have to sleep without food.”

The son was completely taken by surprise as he listened to her.

“Mom, while you were here you never complained about those things.”

“Now when you have only a few hours left, why are you telling me all of this?” he questioned.

The mother gave him a gentle smile, “My dear, I’m alright with heat, hunger and pain.”

“But when you get old and your children send you here, I’m afraid you will not be able to manage.”

The son broke into tears. He bent down to hug his mother asking for her forgiveness.

Love your parents and treat them with loving and care. For you will only know their value when you see their empty chair.

Parents.

When our parents were there we never cared.

When we wanted to take care of them, they aren’t there.

Before it’s too late. Love and care for them.

Sad but true

Sad but true!!

A teacher after dinner, started checking homework done by her students. Her husband was strolling around with a smart phone playing his favourite game ‘Candy Crush Saga’.

When reading the last note, the wife starts crying with silent tears.

Her husband saw this and asked, ‘Why are you crying dear? What happened?’

Wife: ‘Yesterday I gave homework to my 1st Standard students, to write something abt 'My Wish'

Husband: ‘OK, but why are you crying?’

Wife: ‘Today while checking the last note, it made me cry’

Husband (curiously): ‘What’s written in the note that made you to cry?’

Wife: ‘Listen’

My wish is to become a smart phone.

My parents only love smart phones.

They care for their smart phones so much that sometimes they forget to care for me.

When my father comes from office very tired, he has time for his smart phone but not for me.

When my parents are doing some important work and when the smart phone rings, on a single ring they attend the phone, but not me even...

even if I am crying.

They play games on their smart phones but not with me.

When they are talking to someone on their smart phone, they never listen to me even if I am telling them about something important.

So, My wish is to become a smart phone.

After listening to the note, her husband got emotional and asked her, ‘who wrote this?’.

Wife: ‘Our son’!!

Gadgets are beneficial, but they are for our ease & not to be used to the extent of forsaking the love amongst the loved ones.

Children see and feel everything that happens, with & around them. It gets imprinted on their mind with an everlasting effect. Let’s take due care, that they do not grow up with wrong impressions of being forsaken.

We never know the love of our parents for us; till we have become parents




A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the treetop, ate the apples, and took a nap under the shadow. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

Time went by, the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day.

One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad.

Come and play with me, the tree asked the boy.

Boy: I am no longer a kid, I do not play around trees anymore the boy replied. I want toys. I need money to buy them.

Tree: Sorry, but I do not have money, but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.

The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.

One day, the boy who now turned into a man returned and the tree was excited.

Come and play with me the tree said.

I do not have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?

Sorry, but I do not have any house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house. So the man cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.

The tree was glad to see him happy but the man never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.

One hot summer day, the man returned and the tree was delighted.

Come and play with me! the tree said.

I am getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat? said the man.

Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.

So the man cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.

Finally, the man returned after many years.

Sorry, my boy. But I do not have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you the tree said.

No problem, I do not have any teeth to bite the man replied.

Tree : No more trunk for you to climb on.

I am too old for that now the man said.

I really cannot give you anything, the only thing left is my dying roots, the tree said with tears.

I do not need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years, the man replied.

Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest, come sit down with me and rest.  The man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.

 This is a story of everyone. The tree is like our parents. When we were young, we loved to play with our Mum and Dad.

When we grow up, we leave them; only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble.

No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could just to make you happy.

You may think the boy is cruel to the tree, but that is how all of us treat our parents.

We take them for granted; we don't appreciate all they do for us, until it too late.

~ Moral ~ 
Treat your parents with loving care¦. For you will know their value, when you see their empty chair

We never know the love of our parents for us; till we have become parents

Strong and deterministic women



She got late at office that day and she
had to go home alone.

She started walking towards the auto
stand

But it was too late, she had to
wait for an auto.

She felt like someone was
following her

she turned back and 'Bhoo' he said.
She got scared and he laughed out loud.

Her office colleague it was.

"I'm here because
I can't let you walk alone
towards the auto stand and don't worry

I'll b with you till you get an auto.
You are my responsibility" he said.

After ten minutes of wait,

An auto came but no passenger was in
there.

She knew that this
could probably be the last auto to pass by.

She looked in an uncomfortable manner At
th auto driver.

"Don't worry sister, I'll drop you at your
home safely.

You are my responsibility" the auto
driver said.

She sat in.

Her home was in a dark lane,
she had to walk almost five minutes in the
lane to reach her
home.

She entered the lane and a mid-aged man
was smoking and looking at her.

It was a neighbour.

He threw the cigarette and said
"Come i'll walk with you till you
reach home.

Don't worry beti you are like my
daughter only.

You are my responsibility"

The girl finally reached home safely.

Everytime i gave a pause in the write up,

you must have felt that something wrong
will happen.

This fear is what our society has given us.
It will no longer have an existance if
every man be like that office colleague or
the auto driver or the neighbour.
