Back pain

Mothers would have lifted us so many times when we were not able to move or walk. She would have put us on her waist and did the daily chores as well. The time passes. The kids become big and mature (!). The mother tells them or advises them and the kids cry 'oh mum, I am 40 year old or even more. I do not need your advice today' But she continues because it is her blood. Any day the kids are kids for her. Even the father decides that the kids are big enough. But not mother. When she becomes old and she can't move. The son/daughter tries to give her a bath. To give her bath, you have to move her. She is now afraid that she may fall. (It is very difficult to think such a strong mother is so weak today) So she stiffens her body and you need all your strength to put her on the wheel chair. What is the result? you will be left with back pain. you can't move. who knows? the back might have got damaged beyond repairs for the son's/daughter's lifetime. How does one react at such times? I do not know. I have a very bad back ache now. I am putting a lot of effort to sit in front of the pc to record the incident. I do hope it is a temporary catch and it leaves me. suppose it does not? should I curse my mother? or curse my luck? or was it my fate which decided to put me under this torture?
