Heartbreaking incident regarding old age home
The article highlights the pros and cons of nursing homes.

An old woman is sitting on a triangular sheet on the seashore. She is staring at the waves of the sea in the distance. She is watching the sunset. She is watching the play of the late afternoon light on the waves of the sea. I don't know, how many heartbreaking stories, how many unforgettable events, how many forgotten memories are buried at the bottom of this sea. Her own life is also like the sea.
Many families had come to visit the beach that day. One such family was sitting near the old woman. The children were playing around. The adults were talking to each other in excited voices, drinking tea. It was clear that the whole family had come together after many days. As the night was getting late, it was almost one o'clock. The packing for returning home was almost finished. Before leaving the beach, a middle-aged man came out from the family that had come to visit. The old woman was still sitting alone. Her eyes were fixed on the waves of the sea. The man came to the old woman and asked, 'Auntie, are you waiting for someone?' I have been sitting here alone since that evening. If you allow me, I can take you home.'
The old woman said: 'No, father, may God reward you well. I am actually waiting for my son. He will come soon. There is probably a lot of traffic on the road. That is probably why he is late.'
'It is almost half past one in the night. Who will come at this time?'- the man asked.
The old woman said, 'You are right, father; but what else can I do but wait for my son? Look at this letter. My son gave it to me when he left me here; but I cannot read. Will you read it, father?'- saying this, the old woman extended a small note left by the son towards the man.
The gentleman began to read it-
'I request the person who reads this note to leave the old woman carrying the note in an old age home.'
After reading the letter, the gentleman stood still for a while. The world seemed to have stopped for a moment. The roar of the sea had stopped. The waves seemed to no longer break the shore. There was a silence everywhere at this moment. The speechless gentleman returned to his family with the letter. One by one, everyone in his family read this letter and after reading it, no one could hold back their tears. Everyone felt very sad for such a poor old mother. The scoundrel who wrote this letter was carried in his mother's womb for nine months. The child can sleep comfortably. In return for all this, he got an ungrateful scoundrel, who breastfed him for two years. How many nights did he spend without sleep - as if he were a child. Not even a dog leaves his old helpless master alone. Even a dog is not so ungrateful, heartless, but how can a human be!
Finally, I have some advice for you
1. Parents brought us into this world, made us human.
Our minimum responsibility towards them is to love, care, and be by their side in their last years.
2. Not an old age home, but the embrace of our mother and the shadow of our father are the roots of our lives.
If we abandon them, we ourselves will become rootless one day.
3. Our parents have never left us alone in any trouble.
Fill them with love without making them lonely in their last years.
4. Money can buy everything, but the blessings and love of our parents are priceless.
Spend time with them, because once time passes, it never comes back.
5. As children, it is our responsibility, not a burden.
Those who respect their parents also find peace in their lives.
