What a beautiful and generous thing to do for his mother. Your story reminds me of the Bible verse, "Raise up a child in the way he should go..." I know Olivia was proud of her son as an adult and was grateful he took the time to think of her and the sacrifice and struggles she overcame to raise him with his father being deceased. A difficult and rewarding undertaking. Both will never forget their time spent together on the cruise.
Thanks for sharing this lovely story. An enjoyable read. Take care.
