The Vietnam War broke out. Followed the heart, the young husband joined the military and sacrificed his life leaving behind his wife and kids.
Life postwar was very hard, often with not enough food to eat. Still young and beautiful, the wife refused to remarry and dedicated her entire life to raise her kids with the best possible care and education.
An opportunity came, the first born son immigrated to America, studied hard and became a NASA Engineer having a good life.
The son sent home letters often, together with much money for mom to spend, however, Christmas after Christmas, New Year after New Year, with the many excuses, the son stubbornly refused to travel home to visit mom.
When the mother died, the son returned and organized a big funeral but people did not see him shredding tear.
Mother left behind a chest that she always placed at the top of her bed. During the funeral, the son opened the chest and suddenly bursted into tears, sobbed, embraced his mother's coffin and screamed hysterically, "Mom! Mom!"
Everyone looked at each other and looked at the chest. It was full of $100 dollar bills and a piece of paper.
In it read, "Son, I don't spend too much money. I miss you a lot. Every time I hear a motorcycle passing by, I run out the door but it wasn't my son. I saved this money for you in case when you get sick."
