I thought I could finally repay my parents

No. 157 The story introduced this time

Here, we feature tear-jerking stories that have become topics on the internet and in the news, along with videos uploaded to platforms like YouTube, as "stories so good they bring tears to your eyes."

The story introduced this time is a post from a man who, after gifting his mother a hot spring trip to repay her, lost her in a hit-and-run accident just before the trip.
*The time of the post could not be confirmed.

There was a video based on this story, so I will introduce it as well.

Post content

After graduating from high school, I spent four years doing nothing but spending money at home.

I played online games and bought video games. I even yelled at my parents occasionally.

It was about two years ago that I, such a good-for-nothing, changed.

After seeing a thread about career opportunities, I studied and worked part-time desperately, and finally managed to get a job at a major company that even runs TV commercials.

I was truly happy.

I thought I could finally repay my parents.

And then, maybe it was last year.

I had saved up some money, so I decided to take them on a trip and booked it in secret.

It's a classic, but it was a hot spring trip.

A month before departure, I went home secretly and announced it, and she was so happy, shedding tears and saying, "Thank you... thank you so much..."

I was so happy, as if I had saved the money just for this moment.

And then, she was bragging about it to the neighbors lol

Since I live alone, I felt embarrassed when the neighbor lady told me about it when I returned home lol

Then, three days before departure, I got a phone call.

But I was at work, so I couldn't answer the phone and ignored it at the time.

Then, when I called back later, my dad answered and said in a tearful voice, "The trip is canceled..."

I was so confused that I asked back, 'What do you mean? Did she catch a cold or something?'

Then later, they said, 'Mom was... a hit-and-run victim... and so...'

My mind went blank, and I don't really remember what happened after that.

When I came to, the funeral preparations were already underway.

In the end, Mom was unconscious for two days, but her condition suddenly worsened and she passed away.

The trip I was looking forward to turned into a funeral because of a terrible hit-and-run.

While sorting through Mom's belongings, I felt so much regret.

I wondered why I couldn't have repaid her sooner.

In her diary, which I found among her things, it was filled with entries like, 'It looks like [Name] booked a trip for me. Yay!' and 'Only 3 days left until the trip!! [Name] will probably come the day before, so I have to make sure I can cook a big feast!'

Seeing that made me cry.

Even though I knew I wouldn't be able to read it if I got it wet.

Even though the tears would blur the words and make them unreadable, they just kept streaming down.

After that, I left the house to look for the culprit, but I never found them.

I think the investigation is probably mostly over by now.

So, if you can repay your parents before something like this happens, do it quickly.

I'm repaying my father now.

Sorry for my poor writing.

Also, to anyone driving under the influence, don't ever do it!

I mean it, never!
