One woman missed her son very much. No, the son was alive and well, everything was fine with him. He just worked hard, he had a young wife, and it's boring to talk to his mother. There is a wife, there are friends, there are colleagues ... The son loved his mother, but there was no time to call her. It happens, it's okay. And the mother, too, did not impose herself - why climb if the child is doing well?

But she missed and missed. She worked as a nurse, helped to treat children. She loved children very much. In the evening she came home and sometimes looked at photographs of her son Igor. She spoke to him quietly - such a motherly quirk. I prayed for him. And I reread the messages from my son - there weren't many of them. Happy Eighth of March congratulations and happy birthday. And pictures for the New Year and for Christmas - in an old phone. “Dear mommy, I wish you happiness and health, long life!” - these are the messages.

And one day this mother still called her son. She apologized for worrying. And she asked him to stop by for a gift - she bought him a gift. The son spoke; they say, why, mom? I have everything! I was going to call you, but there’s still no time. Okay, I'll stop by, of course, but not for a gift, just to see you!

He was a kind, in fact, son. He stopped by three days later in the evening for a minute. And he even brought a cake. He did not go through, he handed the cake to his mother: "This is for you!"

The mother also gave her son a gift. And he even gasped! It was a very expensive iPhone, almost the latest model, it cost a lot of money, an awful lot! It was my mother who saved up a year After all, she worked and also worked part-time. I didn't buy anything for myself, I saved on everything, and now I bought a gift for my son. And held out an elegant box with an iPhone. And she smiled so happily, - she was very glad that Igorek had come in at last. She hugged him, kissed him and held out the gift.

And then she said quietly in response to the loud and surprised words of her son: “This is for you, Igorek. You know, I got a little ill and will soon be admitted to the hospital. You call me sometimes, okay? If you can't call, write. And if you can't write - come a picture, okay? Even if you don’t send it, it’s nothing. I thought that the phone is always in your hands, so you take the phone and you will remember me. And that will be enough. I'll just know that you remember me! "

A week later, my mother was gone, it just so happened. And my son has this expensive phone of almost the latest model, and he cries when he takes it in his hands. Cries every time. Because he rarely called. He rarely wrote. And I kept thinking that there is still a lot of time to be together.

That you can always dial "mom" and hear your own quiet voice. You just need to find "mom" in contacts - and mom will answer! There is still plenty of time for conversations and messages ...

Not much of it. And if a person doesn’t call, doesn’t climb, doesn’t write, doesn’t burden him with anything, and we forget to call or stop by, it doesn’t mean that the person will always be in touch. Always in touch. The day will come when they may say to us: "The subscriber is not available." Even if we have the most expensive and most modern phone ...
