Adam neglected his mother, Diana, after moving away to New York for college. Despite their close relationship early on, the calls became less frequent as he got busier with work and relationships. When Adam visited her home years later, he found it abandoned and in disrepair. Diana had moved to a nursing home after a storm damaged her house, but Adam never knew.\n

Feeling guilty, Adam went to the nursing home and apologized for neglecting her. Diana, though frail, forgave him, and Adam promised to care for her. He repaired their home, moved back to California to start his business, and brought his girlfriend to live with them. They all took care of Diana, and the family lived together happily.\n

This story teaches us the importance of staying connected with loved ones and never taking them for granted.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
