Mia had always shared a close bond with her mom, supporting each other through everything. But one day, her mom asked her not to visit for a few months due to some house renovations. As time passed, Mia noticed her mom becoming distant and felt something was wrong.
One day, Mia decided to visit unexpectedly. She arrived to find the garden overgrown and the house unusually quiet. Inside, there were no signs of renovations, and the door was unlocked—a clear sign something was amiss.
Mia rushed upstairs and found her mom frail and weak in bed, barely able to speak. With difficulty, her mom revealed that she had been undergoing chemotherapy for cancer and didn’t want to burden Mia. “I didn’t want you to see me like this,” she whispered tearfully.
Mia stayed by her mom’s side as she passed away, reminding her how much she was loved. This heartbreaking story reminds us to trust our instincts and stay connected with loved ones, no matter how busy life gets.
