Most of us agree that as time goes on, we should do our best to help our parents in their old age.
There have been many touching stories about the incredible bond that children have with their elders — like this story of the son who finally realized how many sacrifices his father made for him.
During the meal, his father would continuously drop food onto his shirt and trousers. But, the son would patiently wipe him off and take care of the mess each time it happened.
Other customers in the restaurant aren't as patient, and continue to stare at the pair in an unpleasant manner.
After their meal, the son led his father to the restroom and helped him wipe the stains off of his clothes.
Then, he helped his father comb his hair, put on his jacket, and straighten his glasses.
After they came out, the son went to pay the bill, and stood up to leave. Everyone watched them in dead silence.
No one could understand how someone could embarrass himself in public like that.
Then, all of a sudden, one of the customers, another elderly man, called out to the son.
"Don't you think you have left something behind?" he asked.
"No, sir, I haven't," the son replied.
"Yes, you have!" replied the old man. "You have left a lesson for every son, and hope for every father."
And with that reply, the entire restaurant fell silent.
Taking care of those who once cared for you is of the utmost importance.
