“It broke my heart to see Ammachi. She looked much older- more white hair than ever, and weaker. She couldn’t stand or walk properly. She told me that she hadn’t even gone to church for years! I decided to take her out,” the man poured out his emotions.

As he works at an old age home in Switzerland, he knew how to bathe her. His sisters got her dressed and they embarked on a 20 km journey to the woman’s hometown in Athirampuzha.

“She couldn’t remember many places, but it still made her happy. I took videos to send to my siblings living in different places around the world. They were all worried for Ammachi but still happy to see her up and about. I had also once taken her to witness the ‘Neelakurinji’ bloom. She was tired and sick after the journey but was elated to have finally witnessed what she had always wished for,” the man mentioned about the experience.

The clip moved many online. A user commented, “Best thing I watched today! Bless them.” Another user commented, “Mum’s are irreplaceable. Every moment you have with them should be cherished. Only memories will remain later. I think it was wonderful you took her around.” A third user commented, “The mother is blessed and the son is an Angel.”
