Parents get on their toes whenever their child falls sick. Be it ensuring a proper diet or medical care, parents know it all. Now, in a viral story, the tables have turned as a son took care of his sick mother in the most adorable way possible. He prepared a meal, which was accompanied by a super cute note. The woman, Erin Reed, shared that she was infected with COVID-19 and her son left a surprise outside her room. “You all, I am sick with COVID-19 and look what my son made for me and left it on the table right outside my bedroom door,” she wrote. In the photo, we could see a fork and a small tiffin, consisting of raw spinach leaves and a few strands of noodles. Alongside, there was a note written by her son. It read, “I made this for you! If it is not perfect, I am sorry.”

A person wrote, “When I was little my mom had a stomach bug. As she started to feel better and got hungry I made her a pb&j. Was the first food I ever made. I brought it to her bedside and took a step stool so I could watch over her as she slept. She said it was the best sandwich she ever had.”

But, not all stories had great cooks. A user recalled how his pregnant mother was tired of his lunches. He said, “When I was 5, my mom got pregnant with my little brother. She started bleeding so was put on bed rest. I'd come home from KG & make her lunch. It was bad enough she finally got up saying if she lost the baby, she lost it...but she couldn't take any more of my lunches.”
