The Story of the Old Mother Posted on Minggu, 09 Mei 2010 |

It is said that in antiquity, in Japan there is such a habit of throwing the elderly into the forest. They are already weak helplessly taken to the middle of thick forest, and the subsequent fate is not known anymore.

Once there is a child who brings their parents (an older woman) into the forest to be discarded. This mother was very old, and can not do anything about it anymore. The boy's mother is holding this up to the middle of the forest. During the trip, the mother broke the small twigs. Having reached the middle of the forest, the child of this mother down.
"Mom, we're here", said the boy. There is sadness in the hearts of the child. I do not know why she would do it.
The mother, with eyes full of love said: "Son, Mother is very loving and loved. Since you're little, my mother gave all the love and the love that mothers have with sincerity. And until this moment had compassion and love is not diminished.
Son, Mother does not want you going back to a lost and badly wounded in the street. So the mother had broken tree branches, so that you can make the guide. "
In order to hear the words her mother said, crushed the hearts of the child. He hugs her tightly, crying. He brought his mother back home, and, take good care until his mother died.

Maybe the story above is only a fairy tale. But in the era now, we have encountered no little events like the story above. Many seniors are overlooked, either because the kids busy, etc. business. Parents are marginalized, and live alone until death arrived. Sometimes just entered a nursing home, and if there is a time just visiting.


Presumably the story above could open the eyes of our hearts, to be loving parents and the elderly. They just need more attention from us, while they waited for the time be called Lord God Almighty. Remember their struggle at the time they were young, we raised with loving care, equip us to be like this now.
