This was because all of her kids had become mostly interested in material things alone at the expense of important emotions like love. In their pursuit of money, they had lost most of their humanity.
Agatha had taught them upright qualities including kindness, love, sympathy, and empathy in their childhood but none of all that mattered in the face of money — the commodity they sought to own.
In addition to that, all four of her children always forgot to call her. At least that’s what they told her each time she confronted them.
“Business has been a lot, mom,” the eldest, Brian, would say.
“It totally slipped my mind but I was going to call to see how you were,” the second oldest, Sally, would say.
John and Mary, the twins who were both working in the same field as journalists, would give an excuse or the other about busy work schedules and overseas jobs.
Brian and Sally were both in their 50s with families of their own so if business wasn’t keeping them away, they had a lot of responsibilities.
But Agatha wished they would at least give her the opportunity to spend more time with her grandkids. Sally had two kids and Brian had one.
