A REAL STORY

This is a small thing but it moved me a lot.

My neighbor has a mother is mentally unstable. She does so many weird things that it’s impossible for an average person to manage her.

She pulls off things from cupboards, pulls off plants and saplings that were just planted, and makes a just cleaned room messy, and starts to clean things unnecessarily and so many restless things. It’s not all; she calls her daughter with a different name each day. if her daughter, is washing dishes, the old woman assumes her to be the servant and calls her like that. If she’s cooking, she thinks she is the cook. She sometimes calls her daughter her daughter-in-law.

But the other day, I was passing by their house and saw her. Her small grey hair was tied up in two plaits with two blue ribbons. It looked extremely funny. Aunty called me in and I went.

She narrated the day’s incidents to me. I was astonished at how funnily and easily she’s taking her mother’s madness. As far as I can see, she is not least aggressive or grumpy about it. She narrated her mother’s actions with great love and sort of easy going nature that was completely taken off my feet that such a nice person could exist somewhere. 

If people like this existed in every house then there will be no need for old age homes. Hats off to the woman.
