A Parent’s Heart: A Story Thank you so much for your support, your likes, interest, comments on my stories, subscriptions, and a HUGE thank you from me and my five furry cats for your generous donations. Please share your favourite stories on social media—it means a lot to the author too! “Why the gloomy face this morning? Not even a smile—come on, let’s have breakfast,” Her husband wandered sleepily into the kitchen—it was finally a weekend. Bacon and eggs sizzled on the stove, while his wife poured the tea. She slapped most of the eggs onto his plate, added a slice of bread, and said, “Eat up, use your fork!” “Did I do something wrong, Natasha?” Arkady asked gently. “You did. We both did. We raised our children all wrong,” replied Natalie, sitting down beside him and picking at her food without much appetite. “Our daughter and son have grown up. We sacrificed for them, did without while we raised them—those were hard times. We supported them… so who supports us now, at least with kind words? All they have are problems—bored with life or complaining about money. Both Sasha and Dima, the same old grumbling.” “What makes you say that?” Arkady had already finished his eggs and was happily spreading butter and jam on a fresh slice. “It’s just easier for you—they pour it all out to me, their mother. Yesterday, Dima wanted to take his family bowling, asked for a loan until payday, but I was annoyed and said no. He was offended, and before that, Sasha called about her music career not working out—she was so down. It’s getting out of hand. Sure, she likes singing, but it’s not paying the bills! Time she faced facts and found a proper job; not everyone can make it as a singer. Back when they were little, those two were so close—now it seems they barely talk at all.” She pushed her cold eggs away and sipped her tea. “Don’t get so worked up. Everything will be okay—we were young once, remember?” Arkady tried to comfort her, but she only got more animated. “That’s easy for you to say—think about it. We lived within our means and were grateful. When Dima was born, we were over the moon. A friend gave me a pram, my sister handed down baby clothes—second-hand, but as good as new, kids grow fast! And we were happy. And when we finally got that old Ford Escort, we felt rich as kings! Parked it right out front and felt on top of the world! But our two, if they haven’t been on a trip abroad, think life’s a bust. Did we ever teach them that?” “These days, Natasha, there are more temptations and they’re young. Give it time—they’ll understand.” “But what if it’s too late? They’ll waste their lives chasing riches and life just flies by. I look in the mirror and can’t believe it—am I really a grandmother now? And you, a grandfather…” At that moment, the phone rang—her son Dima was calling. “Here we go again,” Natalie grabbed the phone, and as she listened her eyes went wide and she jumped to her feet. “Arkady, get dressed, quick! Dima’s in hospital—his neighbour just called from the ward.” “What happened?” Arkady leapt up and started throwing on his clothes. “I’m not sure, something with an angle grinder—blade snapped and cut his hand. They’re trying to save his wrist, I just hope they succeed! Let’s go.” The not-so-old but not-so-young parents threw on their coats, worry etched across their faces, and rushed out to see their son. As they hurried, Sasha rang—“Mum, I’ll come round at lunchtime, okay?” “Of course, darling. We’ll probably be back by then,” panted Natalie, barely waiting for a reply before she dashed after Arkady. At the hospital, they were quickly reassured—Dima’s hand had been saved, but they weren’t allowed to see him yet. “I’m not leaving this spot until I see him,” Natalie sat down in the lobby, Arkady by her side. Suddenly Sasha burst into the hospital, hugging them both. “Mum, why are you two so upset? Everything’s okay! Dima was just doing a cash job fixing someone’s car, something wouldn’t come off, he was cutting bolts and slipped. But he’s fine, stitches in, fingers moving—honestly, Mum, you look dreadful. It’s not as bad as it sounds.” “How do you know?” Natalie asked in disbelief. “Dima and I always text, and I chat with Lenny, his wife, too. We help each other, you know?” “We thought you barely spoke anymore,” Arkady explained. “Dad, you and Mum are so strong, so capable—you can handle anything. We try not to worry you. And, if you must know, you both still look young—so we try to let you live your own lives a bit now!” “Really now, I thought you didn’t care anymore!” Natalie managed a smile. “No way, Mum! Your generation—tough as nails. We try to follow your example, but it’s not always easy. But we really do try, honestly.” At that, their worried looks eased a little. “Mum, Dad—I wanted to tell you, I’ve got a new job. And people now invite me to sing at events—nurseries, care homes; yesterday I sang for a group of pensioners. They clapped so hard! One old lady cried—her daughter’s a well-known singer but always away on tour, so she’s dropped her off there… it’s awful.” Sasha suddenly hugged them tight—“We really love you both, never doubt it…” A nurse appeared, allowing them a short visit to Dima. Natalie almost cried, but Dima was calm. “Mum, relax. The worst is over. Dad, you always told that story about the wasp nest in the garage—got stung so badly you nearly died in hospital. Stuff happens. Once I’m out, you must all come celebrate New Year’s with us. We don’t see enough of each other, do we? And Sasha wants to introduce you to her boyfriend too, but hasn’t had a chance yet…” Natalie and Arkady walked home, deciding to take their time. Not so old, yet not so young, these parents with ever-worried hearts. Oh, the parent’s heart—it’s always aching for its children. Always comparing, always wishing they’d be better, wiser, more obedient. But they have their own paths to walk—no matter what. And ours—they’re good kids, after all. Our very own.
