From heart to heart.

A woman with 2 children had to work her days off for she had no husband. It's been 5 years now since he died. The mother, without knowing the feeling of tired, exhausted and sick, she took care of her 2 children with all her heart. Worked her days and nights, keeping this 2 children in good condition, educated and well behaved. They helped their mother in everyway. The elder child, her daughter was 15 years old. Everyday after school she would help her mother to take care of the stall. While the younger child, a boy aged 12 helped his mom to buy the groceries every morning so that they could open a stall every afternoon. By evening, they would all sit together in the kitchen and eat dinner together. Although their life wasn't as good as others, they didn't care because they got heart. 2 of her children studied really hard and finally they became succesfull.

Years had gone by. At the age of 19, her son had a heart disease. The doctor said they need to do a heart transplant in order to save her son. The mother volunteered to give a part of her heart to her son. All the operation bills were payed by the mother, through out her savings for years.
The operation was a success but the doctor said that the mother would not live for long. The 2 children took care of the mother

Both of the children had good career now. They had familes and became very busy. Soon, their mother was ignored. She was getting very sick. Their mother didn't want to trouble them so she left the house and went back to the old village where she belongs and took care of her 2 children once before. Their children didn't care. They just came to check on her every weekends. They would buy groceries for her every week.

The mother was living all alone in the house. Tears rolled down her cheek everytime she thought of her and her husband's memories. The time she had tooking care of her children through out the years. Sometimes she would sleep being accompanied with tears. Oh how she had cared for her children. And now, she was left alone in this old house. One day she was very sick. She called out for her 2 children. Nobody could listen to her cry. She was so upset. It's been 2 weeks since her children came and visit her.

She finally died. With the picture of the whole family in her arms. And the clothes of the 2 children by her side. A letter was left there.The 2 children read it.

Children,
Where had you all been? I'd been suffering for 2 weeks now and nobody come to help. I was very upset thinking bout the sacrifices that i made to take care of the both of you. But beneath it all, i'm happy to see both of you living a succesfull life. I'm glad that you don't have to go through what i did. All i wanted to have before I died is having my 2 child beside me to take care of me. For all the times that we had. I wished that i could stay longer. If mommy is no more in this world, mommy want both of you to know, that mommy had always love the both of you.

The 2 child broke down crying and hugging each other. How they had wasted their time working without caring about the one that took care of them when they were still immature till to what they are today. They couldn't forgive themselves for that. The only person that had been there for them, had now gone, without hearing to their mom's last word.
