This is a story from a home in the United States.
Whenever her son wanted to talk, the mother always listened seriously. One evening, the mother and her son were sitting together in the kitchen. As the son was talking to his mother about something he wanted to discuss, he said this at the end of their conversation:
“Mom, I know that you really love me.”
The mother was touched by her son’s words.
“Of course. I love you so much. Did you ever doubt that?”
“No, I’m sure of it.”
The son answered right away:
“Because whenever I want to talk to you, you always stop whatever you’re doing and listen to me until the end.”
