Evening Dinner with Dad

One evening, a young man took his elderly father to a restaurant for dinner. His father was quite old and weak. While eating, he accidentally dropped food on his shirt and pants. People around them stared with disgust, clearly uncomfortable. But the son remained calm and didn't seem bothered at all.

After they finished eating, the son gently helped his father to the restroom. He wiped the food off his clothes, cleaned him up, fixed his hair, and carefully adjusted his glasses.

When they came back to the dining area, the entire restaurant was silent, watching them. Some were embarrassed just by witnessing the scene. The son paid the bill and slowly walked out with his father.

As they were leaving, an older man from another table called out, “Son, I think you left something behind.”

The young man replied, “No sir, I haven’t.”

The old man smiled and said, “Yes, you did. You left a lesson for every son—and hope for every father.”

The restaurant fell completely silent.

Moral: Caring for those who once cared for us is one of life’s greatest honors. Our parents were there for us in every small way. Let’s love them, respect them, and care for them in return.

Later, the doctors told his mother that even though he lived, he would never walk again. His legs were too damaged. But the boy didn’t accept that. He was determined. Even though he couldn’t move his legs and had no feeling in them, he kept believing that one day, he would walk again. His mother helped him every day by massaging his legs. At first, there was no change. But the boy didn’t stop trying. One sunny day, his ...
