For 7 Years, He Only Saw His Mom on Video Calls – What He Found When He Finally Visited Shocked Him!

Son Talks to Mom Only on Video Call for 7 Years, Sees Deserted House When He Finally Visits – Story of the Day

When her son left for college, the woman finally secured a good job and has been providing for all of his needs ever since. After seven years of solely communicating via a screen, he returned one day and was shocked by what had happened.

“Chris, there’s nothing to worry about. I’m making the most of my payments. At the train station, Olive urged her son, “Call me for anything you need.” She had finally secured a well-paying job, and he was headed to New York for college.

But up to that point in his life, she wasn’t able to afford much. She reared him alone, studied at night, and gave him only used gifts. Olive never felt good about not being able to provide him with the things his friends had, even though he was never without food or shelter.

She was willing to offer him anything he asked for, having at last secured a respectable salary.

Chris said, “Thank you, Mom,” gave her a hug, and boarded the train.

He gave the door a knock. Not a reply. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing through the window. Nothing was within.

“Mrs. Franklin, you ought to stop by! I’ve grown so much since then.” Rosalie, Chris’ fiancée, informed her via the computer screen.

They were both going to graduate; Chris had met her in his junior year. But Rosalie became engaged after learning that she was expecting a child. Unfortunately, Olive had yet to meet her in person because Rosalie was still too ill to travel and they were both studying so hard.

Olive was working particularly hard and was unable to visit either. She paid for Chris’s education, housing, and other expenditures, so over the years, she put in an increasing number of hours at work even though she was paid well. She did, however, try to live as simply as possible.

“Realie, soon! Hopefully, we can meet soon. Olive nodded, and eventually Chris showed up on the screen. “When I get a free moment,” Olive said. Rosalie exited the room when he informed her he had to speak with his mother.

Scratching the back of his head, Chris said, “Mom, I wanted to ask you something.” Given that Rosalie and I will shortly graduate and welcome a child, I was wondering if you could provide me with housing assistance. We’ve previously examined one. Although it’s gorgeous, it’s in New Jersey since we couldn’t live in the city. It makes me miss home.”

Olive gave her kid a long, serious look while she considered. She muttered, “Well, I… don’t know,” as she considered her labors and savings. At last, she was making plans for her retirement.

Chris pleaded, “Please,” and explained the cost of the house and how much of a down payment they would require. Rosalie didn’t have anything, he added, because she had no family to support her.

“All right, Chris, all right. “I believe we can resolve this,” Olive at last remarked. She would have to live even more frugal and spend all of her savings. However, it was conceivable.

“I’m grateful. I’m grateful, Mom. Without you, I don’t know what I would do!” Olive grinned, realizing that it had all been worthwhile, as Chris mentioned, shedding tears during the video chat.

Olive spoke to her computer, “I wish you guys could come this Christmas,” as she had done countless times before. Seven years ago, her son moved out of the house and never went back to his birthplace in Maryland. They only engaged in video chats. She hated that she was missing her granddaughter’s life. However, everyone was preoccupied.

Olive was working harder than ever because she was still helping her son a lot and had spent all of her money twice when he wanted to open a business. She was unable to ask him for anything in return, but she wanted they could at least have a visit.

“Mom, we are unable. Chris shook his head and stated, “Not this year.” “However, I appreciate the presents you have already given Mallory. She adores them. You’re a wonderful grandmother.”

Olive softly asked, “Put her on the screen,” and observed her granddaughter aching to be held in her arms.

Olive was unaware that Chris was finally going to pay her a visit. Although he was unable to purchase airline tickets for Rosalie and Mallory to accompany him, he was relieved to finally visit his mother.

But Chris scowled when his cab pulled up in front of his house. The lights had gone out fully at 9 p.m. Chris got out after telling his taxi driver to wait a moment. The furnishings on the porch had disappeared. There were also the plants her mother cherished missing. The welcome mat was missing, and the garden was completely overgrown.

He gave the door a knock. Not a reply. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing through the window. Nothing was within. Has Mom moved? How come she didn’t inform me? Worried, he pondered.

“Chris? “Is that you?” questioned a female voice.

When he turned back, he noticed Mrs. Torres, the elderly neighbor who had been their neighbor for his entire life. “Mrs. Torres. Hi, there!”

She questioned, “What are you doing here, kid?”

“Mom is the reason I’m here. With a grimace, “Do you know where she is?” he questioned.

“Oh no, sweetie. About two years ago, your mother went away. The new owners of the house she sold moved in just a few weeks ago. With a furrowed brow, Mrs. Torres continued, “I’m not sure who’ll be moving in next.”

“She never told me,” Chris whispered. “Do you know where she is?”

Yes, I have a written copy of her address. Accompany me,” After visiting her home, Mrs. Torres handed him a piece of paper.

Chris scowled as he read the address. The address led to a less than desirable area of the town. The elder woman was asked, “Do you know why she moved there?” by him.

“No, sweetie. Chris was even more perplexed when Mrs. Torres shrugged and said, “But I know she has a roommate now.”

At last, he returned to his driver and gave him the updated address. He arrived at a dilapidated apartment building on a dimly lit street. It was awful. In addition, he moved swiftly inside the building and had no trouble climbing because there was no security.

“Chris? Why are you in this place?” When Olive answered the door, she was taken aback.

“Mum! What is happening? You sold the house, but why?” Chris asked, shocked and perplexed.

“Oh, Chris. She let out a sigh and led her kid inside her small living area.

Olive clarified that she had some savings and had spent them all when he first sought for money for the house. But she had not saved any money, so she sold her house and gave Chris practically all of the proceeds when he asked her for money for his business.

Chris was taken aback by this information and realized how unaware he had been. So thoughtless. What a bad son. “Why did you remain silent? Mom! Breathless, he mumbled, “I wouldn’t have taken that money if I’d known.”

“But, honey, I wanted you to succeed. I just didn’t give you all I should have when you were younger. She attempted to clarify, but Chris interrupted her.

“You provided me with all I could ever need, Mom. I asked solely because I believed you to be the owner. I should have requested not to. I really apologize. I apologize for not inquiring about you sooner. I apologize for not stopping by. For heaven’s sake, I’m so sad you have to live in this area of town and share a room with someone your age.” With tears of frustration welling up in his eyes, Chris apologized.

While Chris was making her a lot of promises, Olive started crying too and gave her kid a big embrace. That evening, he gave Rosalie a call and told her everything. After that, they decided it was time to bring Olive closer to them. Fortunately, she was able to find work immediately in New Jersey.

In due course, they constructed an in-law suite for Olive, ensuring she would never again miss a moment of her granddaughter’s life. Chris also gradually but steadily paid back his mother for all the money she had given him for the house and business, which flourished and made their comfortable living possible. Above all, though, Chris never again permitted Olive to make any other sacrifices.

What lessons may we draw from this tale?

Make every effort to see and communicate with your parents, especially the ones who provide for you without reservation. Chris ought to have checked on Olive more frequently because not everyone is fortunate enough to have a mother like Olive.

If, like other parents, you are unable to provide for your children, don’t feel bad about it. They only require your affection. Kids don’t require the newest video games or expensive sneakers. All they require is your love and support.

Talk about this tale with your companions. It could motivate them and make their day better.
