You devoted your whole life to your only son, Simon. You cared for him, looked after him, taught him, and tried to be the best mother you could possibly be. The years passed, Simon grew and grew, became an adult, moved out, joined the military, and pursued his career with dedication. You gave it your all—and now it was you who needed care and attention, as you were now in your late 70s. Simon did what he could to help you. He visited almost every day, brought you meals, stayed over on weekends, helped you bathe and get up, as your back pain had become severe. Now he’s at your house, while you sit on the couch and he sweeps the living room.
