I was touched by this story and I dedicate it to anyone doesn't realize the blessing of having his or her parents alive.
An old woman went to live with her daughter,son in law and 4years old grandson.The old woman's hand trembled, her eyesight was blurred and her step flatered.The family ate together at the table.But the elderly grandmother's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult.Peas rolled off her spoon onto the floor.When she grasped the glass , milk spilled on the tablcloth.
The daughter and her husband became irritated with the mess the daughter said''I've had enough of her spilled milk ,noisy eating and food on the floor.
So they set asmall table in the corner there grand mother ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner.Since Grandmother had broken adish or two, her food was served in awooden bowl.
When tha family glanced in Grandmother's direction,sometime she had a tear inher eye as she sat alone.Still,the only words the couple had for her were sharp adominations when she dropped afork or spilled food.
The4years old watched it all in silence.
One evening befor supper, the mother noticed her son playing with wood scraps onthe floor. She asked the child sweetly''what are you making?''
Just as sweetly the boy responded''I'm making a little bowl for you and Papa to eat your food in when I grow up.''
The4 years old smiled and went back to work.The words struk the parents so hard, that they were speechless.Then tears started stream down their cheeks.Though, no word had been spoken ,both knew what had to be done.
That evening the woman took Grandmother's hand and gently led her back to the family table.For the remainder of her days she ate every meal with the family,and for some reason, neither husband nor the wife seemed to care any longer when afork was dropped ,milk spilled or the table cloth soiled.
Abdullah ibn Mas'ood said''I asked the Prophet(p.b.u h)''Which deed is most liked by Allah? He said; Prayer offered on time;I asked then what He said''
kindness and respect towards parents;I asked then what H said''Jihad for the sake of Allah.''(Bukhaaree& Muslim)
