After years of struggle, Olive finally landed a good job just as her son, Chris, left for college. Determined to provide everything he needed, she worked tirelessly, sending money for tuition, housing, and later, helping him buy a house and start a business. In doing so, she sacrificed her own comfort, depleted her savings twice, and eventually had to sell her home and move into a rundown apartment with a roommate.

Seven years passed with only video calls between them. Olive missed her granddaughter growing up and longed for a visit. One day, Chris finally returned home—only to find Olive gone and the house empty. A neighbor directed him to her new address, and he was shocked by her living conditions. When Olive explained she had sold everything to support him, Chris was overwhelmed with guilt.Realizing how much his mother had sacrificed, he promised to make things right. He and his partner, Rosalie, moved Olive to New Jersey, found her a new job, and built her an in-law suite so she could be part of their family life again. Chris eventually repaid every cent, but more importantly, he never let his mother go unnoticed or unsupported again.
