And there was Juan Perez, an old man of almost 70 years old who had left his daughter in law and son's house and got into the car where he would be taken to what he thought would be a nursing home to spend his last years of his life. In a way he was happy as he would not be a nuisance and a burden to his family. But upon arriving at his destination far from the city, seeing where he was being taken, he broke down knowing what was waiting for him. The story you will see below is a true story of how some children can treat their parents. For that reason, I invite you to stay with me Until the end of the video.
Juan had begun to forget many things in his life. He also felt pains in his body. The old man was aware of all his ailments and that is why he now had a great desire to go to a nursing home. He didn't want to be a burden for his son and daughter in law. He felt bad to know that he now depended on others.
In fact, that couple had a son who was in the capital studying with the help of the government and they no longer had any other responsibility other than to take care of the old man. However, clearly for Juan that was the last thing he wanted and Besides, they seemed to avoid it since he had been living with them. Since he felt that they did not want to spend time with them. Every time they came home late and only went to sleep, they did not even talk anymore. At the beginning they ate together at the table and now there was no time for that.
They excused themselves saying that it was because of work. They also hired a woman to bring him lunch and dinner. She also helped if he needed something, but then she would leave old Juan all alone. Also, the old man felt bad because he was occupying the grandson's room and because of that the young man had nowhere to go. But not all his life.
Juan lived with his daughter in law and son. He had his own home where he stayed all his life. His parents died when he was young, leaving him that house. He was not so lucky in love, but one day he met the woman of his dreams and lived there with his beloved wife. In fact, he met her when she needed someone the most.
She was much younger than him and had escaped from a stormy relationship. Yes, she ran away with a baby in her arms. Juan found her on the street and selflessly helped her gave her shelter. Sometime later he fell in love with her and of course his love was reciprocated. Years later they married, but the couple could never have children of their own.
In those times it was expensive and difficult to find doctors to help fulfill the dream of having a baby of their own. But Juan had no problems. He accepted the child as his own and even gave him his last name. And he always gave his all so that his family would not lack anything. To be honest, he was a loving father and husband.
But since Elena died, things have changed. Sadness was sinking in. However, little by little, he was forgetting things. Maybe it would be good not to suffer so much now without his wife. He lived alone in a big house.
His son, daughter in law and grandson came to visit him often, but everything would change. One day when it got dark, Juan lit a candle because the electricity had gone off and he fell asleep on the sofa. He was tired since during the day he had been harvesting some potatoes that grew in his garden. With the help of his beloved horse, his whole wooden house was burning quickly. Juan, due to smoke inhalation, had fainted.
Luckily, they managed to get him out in time from the house that was completely on fire. Some neighbors did their best to put out the fire. Unfortunately, the firemen arrived when everything was destroyed. Those memories, photos and things of his beloved Elena, things they had done together had turned into Ashes. Now his relatives arrived.
Frightened by the situation, they found Juan in the hospital. He had fallen into a deep coma. According to the doctors, the smoke had raised his brain and he had also suffered a strong intoxication. After 24 days and with a bad prognosis over, Juan could wake up. But he was not fully conscious and with the passage of time, he was taken to his son's house to recover completely.
However, when he found out what had happened to his home and what had happened to his horse, who had disappeared, he complained, Why did you let me live? I don't want to be here anymore, son. You should have let me go. Yes. Crying, he told him that it was not necessary to pay for the hospital and that they should have let him die.
After arriving at his daughterinlaw's and son's house, Juan realized that they were spending less and less time with him. The older man at first didn't understand why, and due to the absence, they hired a neighbor to take him the meals of the day and for whatever he needed. After a few days, that lady, while delivering the food, told Wan some things. Today. In the morning, they told me that at any moment they would tell me not to come.
They didn't tell me why, but I think they are trying to get rid of you. That's how most of the children are nowadays. When we reach a certain age, they don't need us anymore. Suddenly they don't even want to spend time with us anymore because we are a burden and a nuisance. They practically kick us out of the house.
How sad. Well, I just hope they take you to a good place and make good friends because I doubt they will visit you. Don't worry, Gloria. I've always told them it was better not to bring me to their house. I'm going to ask them to take me to a nursing home where I am nobody's burden, said Juan, looking down.
And so the old man finally understood why his son and daughter in law did not spend so much time with him. He understood that he was a nuisance in the house. Time went by. The son and daughterinlaw did not even get to sleep one night. The saddest thing of all was that it was Juan's birthday that day, and although he received the couple's Greetings in the morning, he had hoped to spend more time with them.
Even on weekends, they were not at home anymore. A few days later, the son came home from work with his wife and they found wand with a handful of pills. Fortunately, they arrived in time to avoid a tragedy. I no longer want to live. I no longer want to be averted.
They don't even want to spend time with me. I'm just a nuisance. Better take me to the asylum. Please, son, I'm not happy here in these four walls. I no longer want to live.
Don't be mean. Let me go. You already did so much for me. Why not sell my land? And with cattle we could certainly pay the asylum if you don't have enough money.
Dad, this is not the time to talk about this. You better go rest. I had a very busy day today and I don't want to talk to you about it. Yes, you don't want to take me to the nursing home? Then I will go talk to the director of some nursing home myself.
I'm still strong. That day the son went to sleep, leaving his father to talk to himself. Finally, more months passed and still the old man was not taken to a nursing home. He was really obsessed to be taken. He didn't want to feel miserable and annoyed.
But one day the sun brought him some documents. The old man asked, and what is this, dad? It's to sell the land and with the money I will make an agreement with the nursing home in a few more days. Surely you can go. The place is spacious and has a big garden and you will feel at home.
The old man felt relieved and signed happily without reading what the document said. One day, seeing that he was still not being taken to the nursing home, the father asked, have you already sold the land? When are you going to take me to the nursing home? And seeing that his son did not answer, he insisted, dad, I still can't find a buyer. Be more patient.
Time went by and his assistance increased. Even more days passed and the old man was still not taken somewhere. So one Friday night when the sun came back home from work, the old man was waiting for him and told him, Next week I will go myself to look for a nursing home. Let them give me any kind of bed. It doesn't matter anymore.
How is it possible that until now you don't take me? The grandfather shook his head and was really angry. The son tried to joke, well, then you will have to wait until some old man dies before you enter his room. In the meantime, they will surely make you sleep on the roof. That is if you find any establishment.
But what kind of institution is that? After waiting in line to get a bed in the asylum, answered Juan, well, it doesn't matter. I'll look for a place at the beginning of the week. The next day the son and daughter in law went out for a moment and arrived with some new clothes and toiletries, also some sheets and towels. So Wan thought that they would be for him.
Maybe they were the necessary items for admission to a nursing home. The older man felt a great relief. He did not ask about it for sure that was it. Then he went out to the park in front of the building to get some fresh air, saying in his mind, Finally, I can leave. However, he was suddenly saddened when he remembered what the neighbor Gloria once told him, well, what are you going to do?
Sometimes it's hard for children to understand their old parents. At that moment, the old man realized that the neighbor was right. Maybe now it will be easier for them to live without him at home. On the weekend, his son and daughter in law came home from shopping and told Juan to pack up his things. The old man commented, Is it time already?
Wan went to his room and began to organize all his belongings in suitcases and backpacks. He tried to do it as fast as possible because he was afraid that his son would get discouraged. So he went out. When suddenly he met his neighbor on the street who realized that he was leaving. Juan told her the news immediately.
At that moment the neighbor Gloria told him, yes, I know. Yesterday they told me that you are not going to be there anymore. You're going to live with the lonely old people. The old man did not expect those words and nodded almost made him sad, but he thought it was for the best. Soon he got into the car.
His son also arrived with more things and got in with his daughter in law next to him. Juan looked longingly for the last time at his son's apartment, and soon the engine was started. As he drove around, the old man looked out the window at the landscapes, hoping to see the asylum with every kilometer they went, but nothing. Meanwhile, he remembered those moments when he was younger, the moment he got married, his son's birthdays, the moments with his wife happy moments, and at the same time he missed them. Suddenly his heart was saddened and he shed some tears.
The old man did not even realize where he was being taken because of that. But suddenly he realized that they were on a lonely road with no houses around, far from the city. The old man saw the woods. However, the further they went, the more it seemed to old Wan that he saw familiar places, but he thought it was all his imagination. Then the car parked.
The son opened the door of the old man who had fallen asleep, woke him up and helped him get out. The older man put on his glasses to see better. He hoped to see the asylum. However, he saw something he never expected. He couldn't believe it because in front of him was the house that had burned down, completely rebuilt.
Everything was newly renovated with new windows. Dear dad, I hope you like it. We've done it as fast as possible. Meanwhile, the old man had been really stunned and dumbfounded. He didn't think that something like this would happen.
The sun added, what a pity. There are still some things to do, but you already have everything you need. You have your kitchen, your bathroom. You have a huge room to sleep in, air conditioning and heating. The only thing you'll have to do is take care of your orchards, your trees, and the plants you like so much.
Besides, we'll buy you a generator if one day the power goes out. By the way, I have something else for you. One of the firemen found this album. When Juan opened it, he saw the photos of his youth with his wife. The man cried like a child.
It had been a long time since he had cried so much. He cried with happiness of what would happen in the last years of his life in a beloved place. The son and daughter in law hugged Juan to comfort him, but that was not all. A neighbor came to welcome him and next to him was his beloved horse who was found on the outskirts of town. Fortunately, he was safe and sound.
The old man seemed to be living in a dream. You see. As soon as the house burned down, the son, with the help of his daughterinlaw and some neighbors began to rebuild it. They also modified some parts of the land. Because of that, he made him sign with deceit some papers to his father to acquire permits for the new construction.
The old man always thought it was for the sale of his house. Besides, that was the reason why the son and daughter in law did not spend much time with the old man at home, no matter how much they wanted to, because they themselves made some arrangements with their own hands to save money. There was also a donation from some neighbors. Father, we didn't want to tell you something about it as we wanted to surprise you. The old man cried with joy and scolded the couple for not telling what was going on.
But he was grateful for such a surprise. He started to unpack and settle in his rebuilt house. Also, his son did not tell him that they would come to see him every weekend as before. It turns out that no one wanted to get rid of him or avoided him. Quite the contrary, they loved him and wanted to surprise him as they knew how much he longed for his people.
Then the old man apologized for thinking badly of his son and daughter in law for thinking that they wanted to vote him out of their house. The worst was the neighbor who was always there to put tears to make him believe that he was right, that nobody wanted him, that he was just a burden. But all that was forgotten when he told that now he was impressed by the gesture of his children. Dad, don't pay attention to that neighbor. She was always a gossip.
But her food is delicious, isn't it? Well, don't worry. She only talks for the sake of talking. She was always like that. Undoubtedly, misunderstandings can lead a person to suffering.
The children didn't feel bad and were happy to see him in his beloved home. There's no doubt that Juan raised his son very well. A son that although it is true that he was not by blood, but he was by heart, the respect they had for each other would never be priceless today. It is true that many people send their elderly to nursing homes to spend their last days of life. Sometimes they don't have the time to support and care for them, especially when they work and have no one else.
But there are also those children who simply send them to the nursing home to take a load off their shoulders or simply abandon them. Asked. The saddest thing of all is to abandon the one who gave us life. Or rather, the one who gave us his life to take care of us.
