Adam hadn’t visited his mother, Diana Evans, for years after starting his own life. Diana had raised Adam alone, working hard to support him and pay for his education. When Adam went to college in New York, their communication faded as he became busier.
As Adam’s graduation approached, he called Diana: “I’m finally graduating in two weeks. Will you be able to come over?” Diana promised to attend but struggled financially. To afford the trip and a gift, she took on babysitting jobs, buying a ticket and a watch for Adam. In New York, Diana cheered for Adam at his graduation, and they celebrated with a fancy dinner. Moved by Adam’s gesture to cover the bill, she gave him the watch, and Adam promised to wear it daily.
After her visit, their communication dwindled and eventually stopped. Years later, Adam flew back to California to retrieve documents, only to find their house destroyed and abandoned. Concerned, he asked their neighbor, Mr. Green, who informed him that a storm had damaged the house and Diana had moved to a nursing home due to financial strain.
Adam rushed to the nursing home, finding his frail mother and tearfully apologizing: “I’m sorry I wasn’t there when you needed me the most.” Diana comforted him, urging him to get up. Adam repaired their home, moved Diana out of the nursing home, and relocated his business to California. He and his girlfriend took care of Diana, ensuring they lived happily together.
