My Generous Son!

Tweet

My son is the only one at home who runs errands. This morning, he drove to the city proper to buy sawdust for dog food. He is always aware of the precautionary items he should use when leaving home: face mask, face shield, a bottle of alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol), and his bag where he puts his wallet and mobile phone. This morning, he came back at 11:30AM (he left at 10AM), and as soon as he was at the garage, he did the usual thing again, sprayed disinfectant at the soles of his shoes, his bag, poured alcohol, and removed his shield (washed it later) and mask. And when he asked my hand( and sister's too) for blessing, he pulled out 2 small plastic bags of garlic. We still have garlic, but his reason made me prouder to him; 'I pity this old woman selling garlic; she does not talk, but reaches out her hand holding the plastic bags of garlic". Most often, he brings home some stuff which are not requested of him to bring home, and I know the reason: my son is generous. he even gives money to sleeping beggars. When I had my check-up last month, I requested him to buy us snacks. It took him an hour to go back to the hospital. When I asked him what took him so long, he said, "Ma, I already bought us our snacks (hamburger for him, hotdog for me, French fries,and soft drinks). When I went out of the food store, I saw this old woman collecting plastic containers from the dumpsite. I went back to the jolly bee and bought her the same snacks that i have". I got misty with what he said. No wonder, he is receiving more from his online work because he gives more to persons he sympathizes with. "It is better to give than to receive."
