My son, I forgive you, and I hope you forgive me too.
With these words, she passed away.
The son, who hadn’t visited his mother for many years, was finally called to the nursing home. The nurses said to him:
— Your mother prayed for you every night. She would tell us stories about you every day. She always said she came here by choice so her son wouldn’t suffer and could be happy.
— Honestly, no one deserves a child like you. Not even animals. Don’t you fear the judgment of this world? One day…
Before the nurse could finish, Umidjon waved her off:
— Enough already.
He left without looking back.
Years passed, and eventually, Umidjon’s son also took him and his wife, Nurziya, to a nursing home.
Only then did Umidjon realize the mistakes he had made, and he wept bitterly, reflecting on what he had done for his mother.
As you can see, the poor mother, till her last breath, prayed for her son’s happiness, not her own. But the son never once thought of his mother. May no one ever have such a child.
Remember this: however you treat your parents now, the same treatment awaits you in the future!
The moral of the story is to cherish your mother while you have her, because eventually, it may be too late.
