Perfect Son
A child was born to me,
We felt happy because
he was the perfect son,
for my perfect family.
We, parents taught all
the good things in life,
gave good education,
Our life was around him.
We felt he will be,
the perfect son,
for our perfect family.
As the days passed,
little boy became a man,
he was addicted to drugs.
He smoked thirty a day,
Becomes an alcoholic,
Stole things from our house.
We,perfect parents felt angry
and ashamed of ourselves,
thinking about our perfect son.
We cried day and night,
We felt shattered,
Prayed to God to give him
everything he needed in his life.
The days passed,we become old,
To our surprise, one day he came
back to our house.
He apologized to both of us,
he cried on our feet,
and he told us that he realized,
his faults, and he wanted to
come back to our house
and spend rest of his days
with us in our house.
He has only few days to live,
because he got a disease ,
which is killing him bit by bit,
No one can help other than God.
We felt devastated but,
We have forgiven him,
We forgot the past,
We made him happy,
and accepted him
as our perfect son.
Our heart was broken,
but we prayed to God,
for freeing him from pain,
and end his life in peace.

This is a story of a perfect son. I heard numerous stories like this when i worked with many such patients in the hospital. The families were devastated . whatever the sons do, at last for parents, they are the dear ones.They forget and forgive them and at the end accept them again. I worked with male patients and the story is about a son.Dolly
