Sometimes when we look back in life, we feel that our greatest achievements are not wealth or success. Rather, they are small moments that give us happiness, peace and relaxation. After listening to this story you will also feel the same. Yes, those who sacrificed everything for us, how will we survive if we cannot give them happiness? Now you must be wondering why all these things? Actually, recently a person has shared an emotional post on social media. Taking to Reddit, he explained how he fulfilled the biggest wish of his mother, who was battling a life-threatening illness.
What’s in the Reddit post?
The man wrote in his post, “By April 2021, my mother was battling stage four cancer and was well aware that her end was near. My father was serving in the UN Peacekeeping Force, so mother would travel alone from Gwalior to Delhi every two weeks for treatment. My mother was born in a small village between Agra and Kanpur. She had never seen the Taj Mahal in her life. This was his lifelong dream.
I got my first job in 2017, at The Oberoi Amarvilas. I had a deep connection with that hotel. It was here that I learned the true meaning of hospitality. When my father returned home, I decided to create a special moment for my parents. I booked a room for them in my hotel from where they could see the Taj Mahal from the front.
Mother was not well, so she was finding it difficult to walk. But his lifelong dream came true after seeing the beautiful view of Taj from the room. Perhaps Mom didn’t like the hotel food, it was too bland for her taste, or perhaps she didn’t feel at home in the luxurious surroundings. But despite the pain, a unique happiness was visible on his face.
Mom’s pain increased after chemotherapy, so the family couldn’t stay there the whole night, yet in those few hours, my mom lived a dream she never imagined.
Mother died after 15 days
The man further wrote that even though mother did not like the food or the stay, the room was too luxurious for her. Maybe mother was feeling proud of me. Mother died fifteen days later.

The photo of that hotel became the last and most precious photo of that man’s family. This heart-touching post touched the hearts of thousands of people. It got more than 2.3 thousand upvotes. Many users made emotional comments. He praised the son’s love for his mother and told how the story brought tears to his eyes.
