Determined to create a unique experience, he planned to take her on a meaningful journey. With great care, he bathed and prepared her for the outing.?
Tenderly, he lifted her onto his shoulder and set off on a short road trip, cherishing every moment.
It captures the poignant scene of Rojan lifting his elderly mother onto his shoulder and gently placing her inside a car.?
He had also accompanied his beloved "Ammachi" on a memorable journey to Switzerland, revealing the wonders of the beautiful country.?
Now, longing to relive those cherished moments, he resolved to create a similar experience again. Despite her delicate health and advanced age, he was determined to make it happen, even if it meant exploring a nearby destination.
"Years ago, I had taken Ammachi to Switzerland and showed her around Europe. She was delighted to see the new places. But I could only go to India almost five years after that because of Covid. 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," Mr Parambil wrote.
Sharing his experience, he added, "I work at an old age home in Switzerland. So, with that experience, I gave her a bath, got my sisters to get her dressed, and decided to take her in my car. Everyone said it was not the best idea. I went ahead anyway! I lifted her up on my shoulders and made her sit in the car, and off we went, around 20 km away to her hometown Athirumpuzha. 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,"
Rojan Parambil's heartfelt account of his journey with his beloved "Ammachi" touched people's hearts online.?
