Mother's Day ~ a true touching story

Mothers day recalled me on a story of the patience and perseverance of a mother.

15 years ago in a village, a youg man lets name him Harry, left his hometown to travell around the world, leaving his old parents behind. He was stubborn and reluctant to stay despite his parents begging him. He left. Two years later his father died leaving his mother alone.
After Harry's dad passed away, his mother waited at the railway station every single day at noon bringing Harry's favourite food Glutinous rice dumplings. Everyday She waited, hoping for her only son to return. Years passed, soon she went down with a Tubercolosis (TB) and started coughing blood every now and then.. Her conditions worsoned but despite that she was determine and vow not to die untill her son return.. Everyday she continued waiting for hours at the raiway station..
The whole village called her crazy and senile.. No one offered to help this poor old "so called crazy" lady except for a kind soul young lady "Amy". Despite all the discouragement from people, she patientely waited.. everyday for 15 years she waited, tearing and coughing blood every so often. She prayed everday for her son to return.
One day she got really sick and couldnt get out of bed, almost on the fringe of death.. But suddenly dont know why she forced herself to get up from bed and dragged herself to the railway station.. Amy couldnt stop her but just to follow.. She waited again from noon to the late evening.. To no avail, she breakdown in tears and started coughing blood again..
Then suddenly a voice came from afar, "Ma!" She looked up and to her supprise she saw a fully grown man, her son Harry. Now you can just imagine the situation now. She cried but this time not with the tears of sorrow, but tears of joy.
They were reunited after 15 years of saperation. 15 years doesnt stop the mother from waiting or giving up hope. The mother look at Amy and said, "Waiting for sumone you really love, you need alot of patience and peserverance. You need to believe and never give up. Not many people can do that. This is called true love. Cant be found even in marriage, But only a mothers love..."

Happy Mothers Day to all mums out there!! and to the evil Children, May you rot in hell!!
