A son took his elderly father to a restaurant for dinner. During the meal, his father would continuously drop food onto his shirt and trousers.
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.
Other customers turned around and gave the pair unpleasant looks, the son was calm and helped his father clean up his mess.
The son went to pay the bill, and stood up to leave. Everyone watched them. No one understand how someone could embarrassed himself in public like that.
Then, all of a sudden, one of the customers — an old 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 felt silent.
Taking care of those who once cared for you is of the utmost importance.
