A poor couple who lived in a small village in Southern KENYA. They had only one son. Gave him the Education they managed .
Son graduated as an Engineer in the nearby University.
Eventually, got married to a Rich girl. Initially, they lived with his Parents in the village.
Soon,the wife got tired of village life and persuaded the husband to move to the city leaving the old parents in the village.
As time passed, by the husband saw an advert in the newspaper about a vacancy in Juba (Sudan).
The Mother prayed for him a Blessing and told him not to forget them.
He was Successful and lived in Juba for years with his wife.
Regularly,he used to send money to parents. Eventually with time he stopped and forgot about his parents ever existed.
Every sunday he went to church to pray God and immediately after that he used to see someone telling him in a dream that his Prayer was not accepted.
One day,he related story to his Pastor who advised him to go back to Kenya to visit his parents.
The man flew to Sudan and reached the boundary of the village. Everything had changed. He could not locate his parents' house.
He asked a young boy about the where abouts of his parents.
The boy directed the man to a house and said:
"In this house lives an old blind lady who lost her husband five years ago. I also hear people saying that, She has a son who migrated to Sudan 40 years ago and never came back again." the boy continued, "The Old lady has been crying, longing to see his son"
Son kept quiet and enterered the home and finds his mother on the bed. He tip-toed as not to wake her up.
He hears the mother whispering or mumbling something. He gets closer to hear her voice. This is what the mother was saying:
"God ! I am now very old and Blind. My husband just died. There is NO HUSBAND to lower me in my grave when I die.
So,please send my only son to fullfill my last wish. "
