    Oh the reality is sometimes so cruel, we leave our once loved ones without second thought.
    Very pathetic scenario.
    Nicely written.

    Parents treated no different to the family pet! Most tragic! Sadly this is happening. You brought it out in the open. Great take Usha!

    This prompt has turned out to be very sad. Thank you for reminding us of a sad reality in our midst that is often overlooked. We often hurt the ones who care the most for us instead of appreciating them and giving back. Well done! :)

    What you have written actually denotes some of the saddest things in our society. The care and concern that is going away from mankind is a stark reality of today.

    Sad, how we leave people/pets in old age. That's the time when they truly need us.
