A grandmother came from the village with two heavy packages. She didn’t visit her grandchildren that often, but she bought some presents with her last money to make them happy. Every time she came, she did not leave empty-handed, but this time she outdid herself. The woman was not afraid to drive a long way with such a burden, because her son promised to meet her. But when she arrived, he was not at the station. She had to put the packages and dial the number.
They did not answer immediately, only in an hour, after the tenth call. The son’s voice was confused: – “Oh, mom, I’m sorry, I forgot that you are coming today. We actually went to my wife’s parents in the region, we will stay here for a week. You came in vain, go back. Honestly, we did not know that it would be like this, so I forgot to warn you, we went spontaneously. There were tears in the woman’s eyes. She did not answer anything, only dryly: – Okay.
She gave both packages to the homeless of the station, because it would be very difficult to carry it back, her arms were already suffering from such a burden. She did not express her offense to her son, and he did not understand how much he hurt his mother’s heart with his act. After all, the woman put her whole soul into his upbringing, and he did not even visit her when she got old. When a month later her daughter-in-law called and asked her to look after her grandchildren on weekends so that she and her husband could go to a wedding to their friends, the woman refused. She was tired of being remembered only when necessary.
