The Story of a Devoted Mother

The Beginning

When I was ten years old, my family moved from Jamaica to the United States. Our family included my mom, dad, older brother, and paternal grandparents.

Looking back, I realize that my childhood was quite typical. My parents emphasized the importance of family and instilled strong values in us. They often told my brother and me that a loving family was worth more than any amount of money.

Education was also a top priority in our household. My dad always said, "Get a good education, and the world will be yours."

I worked hard to excel in school and consistently ranked at the top of my class.

My First Love

During my final year of high school, I fell deeply in love with a charming older man named Johnny. From the moment I first laid eyes on him, I knew he was the one for me. Although I had plans to attend college, I decided to put my educational aspirations on hold to marry him. My parents were disappointed but ultimately wished us both well.

Two months after our wedding, I became pregnant, which felt like a fairy tale dream come true. However, after the birth of our son, my fairy tale began to sour. I noticed a drastic change in Johnny's behavior; he was no longer the kind and affectionate man I had fallen in love with. Instead, he became hostile and aggressive toward me and our son, claiming that I was neglecting him and that the baby was a source of conflict. He refused to bond with our child, seeing him as a threat.

Despite our frequent arguments, I never expected Johnny to abandon us. One day, he walked out the door and never returned. He has been missing ever since. Sadly, our marriage ended after just two years.During my final year of high school, I fell deeply in love with a charming older man named Johnny.

A New Beginning

With no job or money and facing financial struggles, my family became my greatest source of support. They welcomed me with open arms and provided the help I needed to care for my baby.

After several rounds of job interviews, I finally secured a position as a clerical worker at a company. I worked diligently and showcased my skills, and within just two years, I was promoted to bookkeeper.

I remained with that company until I retired, feeling grateful for the opportunities and support that allowed me to build a better life for myself and my family.

I am proud to say that my son never went without; he had more than enough.

.I had a few dates, but I never remarried.

My main focus was on my son, and I didn't want anything to come between us. My child's life was everything to me.

My Son's Graduation

One of the greatest joys of my life was when my son graduated from college.

When he told me that he wanted to attend a Master’s program, I was elated. I gave him all the financial support he needed. I wanted him to be happy.

After two years, he graduated with a business degree. Later, he became a CPA.

I was the proudest mother in the entire universe.

My son, who had secured a good job, was living on his own.

A year later, he got married. Soon afterward, he became a father.

Joshua was the newest member of our family.

Everything was perfect. I was healthy and working, and my son was happily married with a son.

Retirement

After retiring, my life took a new direction. My son went through a divorce and remarried. He became the father of four children.

When my grandchildren were young, we were very close. They would stay overnight at my house a few times each month. However, as they grew older, I saw them less and less.

Whenever my son visited, usually two or three times a month, he would inform me that the kids were busy with schoolwork or other commitments.

Friends

I stayed occupied by socializing with my neighbors and going to the senior citizen community center.

It was enjoyable as we played cards or bingo and went on a few trips each year.

Despite my family keeping their distance, I found solace and affection in my friendships.

Disappointment

When I was 78, I fell and broke my hip. I was hospitalized and underwent a hip replacement. My main visitors were my friends during my time in the hospital and rehab.

My son would rarely visit. When he would show up, he would stay a minute or two. As for my grandchildren, they never visited at all.

On the day I was discharged from rehab, my son picked me up and began discussing nursing homes and the various benefits they offered. When I firmly refused to consider his suggestion, the conversation abruptly ended.

I returned home to discover that my days of independence were numbered. While in the hospital, my son insisted that I grant him power of attorney. After much consideration, I reluctantly agreed, never imagining he would use it against me.

Behind my back, my son arranged to sell my home and place me in a nursing home, claiming I was too old to take care of myself. Exhausted and feeling defeated, I eventually gave in without putting up a fight.

All of my cherished belongings were scattered or discarded, and I was placed in a nursing home. That day marked the most disheartening moment of my life. I felt like an unwanted human being, discarded and isolated.

Nursing Home

In the nursing home, nothing ever changed. Each day followed the same routine: they would wake me up early, help me get dressed, and place me in a wheelchair.

There were no stimulating conversations or opportunities for human connection and no one to share my inner feelings with.

For hours, I would stare out the window with tears in my eyes, hoping for the angel of death to come. You truly don't understand loneliness until you find yourself in that situation.

My son took my home and friends from me and left me in a place where loneliness and sadness roamed the corridors.

Once in a while, my friends would visit, but the visits became less and less. The traveling was too much for them.

My son had selected a nursing home that was extremely far from where I previously lived.

Initially, my son would visit twice or thrice a month but only stay for a few minutes. Whenever he left, he would say, "Do you need something? I need to go; I have something I need to do." I would think to myself, "Yes, I need something. I need love and someone to talk to. I need my son."

Over time, his visits became less frequent, dropping to just once a month and eventually once every few months.

Mother's Day and my birthday were the saddest days for me.

Loneliness

Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and months turned into years. Nothing changed in my life.

Every day, I prayed to God to take me away. I no longer wanted to live.

Free at Last

One day, I woke up to find myself standing in front of a lifeless body. It was the body of an old, frail woman, and as I looked closer, I realized that it was my own. At first, I was confused. "Am I dreaming?" I questioned myself.

Soon, reality began to settle in. It wasn't a dream; I was no longer part of the earthly realm. God had granted my wish. I was free. I no longer carried the burdens of earthly emotions or illnesses. Feelings of depression no longer existed.

When I turned around, I noticed familiar figures standing in front of an immense, bright light. It was my parents and grandmother. They gave me welcoming smiles and guided me into the light.

Visit to the Earth Realm

From time to time, I am able to visit my family back on Earth. My son, who never had time for me in the past, is now experiencing the same loneliness that I once felt. He lives alone and is unwell. His children rarely call or visit him, leaving him to spend days and weeks in his apartment by himself. He seems to have been forgotten by everyone around him.

There are moments when he calls out my name. He has even asked God to forgive him for his past mistakes. Often, with tears rolling down his face, he prays, "Oh, dear God, forgive me. You gave me a wonderful mother, and I did not know how to appreciate her. Now that she is gone, I feel the weight of my sins. Please, have mercy on my soul. Mother, if you are watching over me, please forgive me for my lack of compassion."

I whisper in his ear: "I forgive you, for you will always be my son, and I will always love you."

Summary

When you couldn't walk, your mother carried you; when you couldn't feed yourself, your mother fed you; when you couldn't bathe yourself, your mother washed you; when you could go to the bathroom, your mother changed your diapers. The least you could do is love her and be there for her in her times of need. She never abandoned you, so don't abandon her.

For those whose mothers did not show love, forgive her. Perhaps she was never given love and, therefore, never learned how to love others. Break the cycle.

As a person gets older, it is essential for them to know that they are loved and appreciated.

Remember, everyone needs love. Practice giving compassion and love to those who were there for you from the beginning.

A mother's love has no boundaries. Her unconditional love is limitless.
