Beside her stood Andrei, no longer the boy from years before, but a man shaped by his mother’s courage.
“Mom,” he whispered, “I owe you everything.”
Elena’s eyes welled up. “I did what any mother would do. Love doesn’t keep score.”
Her story spread, touching hearts far beyond their little town.
It served as a powerful reminder: the strongest bonds are forged in sacrifice, sustained by forgiveness, and lifted by hope.
In the end, Elena’s love didn’t just save her son—it mended a family and inspired a community to believe in the boundless strength of selfless love.
