The son enters that house, and recognizes his mother on the bed but obviously in bad shape, almost listlessly sleeping. He tip-toed, as he would rather not wake her up. Suddenly, he hears his mother whispering, mumbling something while she lay half asleep. He gets closer to hear his Mother’s voice. This is what his Mother was mumbling, “God, I am now very Old, and Blind. My Husband just died. There is no one to cremate me when I Die. So please SEND MY SON to fulfill my last wish”.

This is the ending of a Story where the Prayer of a Mother has been accepted.

A human body can bear only 45 Del (units) of Pain. But at the Time of giving Birth, a Mother feels up to 57 Del (units) of Pain which is similar to 20 Bones getting fractured, all at the same time. This is just to tell you the extent, to which a Mother Loves Her Child and undergoes such extreme pains happily for the child.

That's why it is said: “God could not be everywhere, so he made mothers”.
