2. Mother's Love
It was a hot summer day. There was a chemist along with his assistant doing brisk trade under the mid-noon hot sun. The pharmacist noticed an old woman across the road, staring at the shop for a long time. The shopkeeper suggested to the assistant to take care of the customers in the line and he went to check on the old lady.
The chemist crossed the road and approached her and asked her “why you are standing here alone, do you need any help from me”. The lady said she was fine. She had a son who lives in the city with his wife and three children. He and his family came and visited her every summer but this time he called her up last night and said he is going to a hill station with his family so he will not be visiting her this summer. He might come next summer. Saying this, her wrinkled grey eyes shed tears of pain out of a broken heart.
The shopkeeper was muted for a moment and he had no words for her. The mother held her tears and asked the chemist for a medicine to forget her son. The chemist was even more shocked. A mother was so much in pain that she has to seek medicine to forget her own son.
Your parents may be old and not updated but, their love for you has no conditions except for the little consideration they expect.
Don't break their heart with your unemotional actions.
