### A Mother’s Sacrifice
Olive finally got a good job as her son Chris left for college, saying, “Don’t worry about anything! I’ll pay for everything you need!” For years, she struggled to provide for him as a single mom, always feeling guilty for not being able to give him more.
Years later, while working tirelessly to support Chris and his pregnant fiancée, Rosalie, Olive often longed to see them. “I hope to meet you soon!” she said, but visits never happened. Chris secretly planned to surprise her, but when he arrived at their old home, he found it empty. A neighbor told him, “Your mother moved away about two years ago.”
When Chris found Olive in her new, run-down apartment, he was shocked. “Why did you sell the house?” he asked. She explained, “I sold my house to help you with your business.” Overcome with guilt, Chris promised, “Mom, you gave me everything! I shouldn’t have asked.”
Chris and Rosalie soon moved Olive closer, building an in-law suite for her. Chris repaid her sacrifices, ensuring she would never struggle again.
