Son Mocks His Poor Mom Every Day, Finds a Note after Emergency Takes Her Away — Story of the Day
A boy constantly mocks his mother for being poor and not providing him with a rich lifestyle like his friends, but he realizes how wrong he is when karma catches up with him.
“Mom! Mom!” Justin cried happily as he got home from school. “Can we please go shopping this weekend? I need to buy new shoes! Actually, I saw these super cool Nike sneakers, and I really want to get them!”
“Ummm, honey,” his mother, Laura, hesitated. “Can we please push it to next month? I need to sort the monthly bills first, and since you know I was on leave for a few days this month, I’m afraid I can’t get it for you this time.”
“But mom!” Justin frowned. “We have a school trek next week, and all of my friends are going. I wouldn’t have asked for new shoes, but the ones I have are quite old, and the soles have started to wear away. Please, please, mom….Come on….”
“I’m sorry, Justin,” Laura said. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to buy the shoes. Can you please forgo the trek this time? I promise that when I get my next paycheck, we’ll buy your shoes first.”
“What? You can’t be serious, mom! You always do this! This is not over!”
“Justin, please. I already have a lot of work to finish. We can discuss that later. Come, have lunch. The food’s getting cold.”
“Leave it, mom. I’m not hungry. You can go back to your work! I won’t go on the trek, and it’s because of you! I HATE YOU FOR THIS, MOM! I REALLY HATE YOU, AND I MEAN IT!” Justin said as he dashed to his room and slammed the door behind him.

Laura’s eyes welled up, but she didn’t say anything. When Justin was just 3 years old, his father declared that he didn’t want to care for them and walked away from their lives. After that, Laura did her best to raise Justin on her own, but no matter how hard she tried, it was never enough for the 13-year-old child.
Justin’s classmates boasted about having iPhones, PlayStations, and expensive video games, but Laura couldn’t provide such things for him. So once, when Justin wanted an iPhone, and she claimed she couldn’t afford one, he lashed out at her. Other times, he mocked her for making the same monotonous sandwiches for breakfast, noon, and even dinner and never letting him order from out.
It wasn’t like Laura didn’t want to provide a good life for...
