Short story of Joy, Success, and catastrophic loss...

Saturday morning 8.30 am. I just took bath and came to my room. My phone was ringing. I got a call from person regarding Physiotherapy appointment. 
Person: good morning sir i am having pain in my back can u come and treat me.
Me: plz msg me your address. 
After an hour wen i reached that place. He opened the door. 
Person: welcome sir plz come be comfortable ill come in moment.
I had water and was waiting for the old man. After about 5 minutes he came with his wife and a big chocolate cake. I was wondering what is going on. The old man kept the cake infront of me and said.
P: today is my son's birth day.(i was knowing that person because i had treated his son before)
I was still wondering what is going on. Further he said.
P: Sorry for troubling you sir but u must b remembering XYZ, my son u treated him for Quadriplegia(PARALYSIS OF ALL 4 LIMBS) last year. Today is his birthday.
 I was surprised. And i asked them where is he, i want to wish him.....they kept mum....
After awhile they replied he passed away last month in car accident....... 
Drops of tears started rolling down my eyes i couldn't stop myself.
 Further they said,like the way when last time u came to treat him and u saved his life by doing different  exercises counselling can you do it again now...........its his birthday today plz can u??.
I was speechless... Tilll the time i am.....after a while, he smiled further and put cake infront of me and asked me to cut the cake, they both said "god bless u son". Whenever u get time do come and visit us.....
i left the place with heavy heart.. 
But came to know the Importance of Physiotherapist........
Proud to be a Physiotherapist........ 
Dedicated to all Physiotherapist.........
