The Fourth Son: A Story of Four Sons and a Special Mother

Introduction

There once was a special mother of four sons who deeply loved each of her children. Each of her sons had a unique personality and each of their names wonderfully represented the cardinal direction—North, East, South, and West. This article will explore the special bond between the mother and her four sons, and why all four of them believed that their fourth son, East, was their special star.

The Loyalty of a Loving Mother

No matter how the youngest son, East, felt about himself, his mother treated him with nothing but care and consideration. She had patience no matter how he acted throughout his childhood. Whenever East was feeling discouraged because of his younger age, his mother was right there to say, “Of course you can do it, East. You’re going to be amazing.” That unwavering support and encouragement that his mother showed him was what kept him pushing forward. She didn’t shy away from her duty as a mother and she always tended to the needs of her four sons.

The Appreciation of the All Four Sons

Even throughout the chaos of normal family life, the four sons understood the important role their mother held in the family. They always looked out for her and appreciated her for doing so much for them. North understood her diligence and ability to take care of the family without fail, West appreciated her for making sure he understood the importance of school, South always respected her as an authority figure and East admired her for being a great friend.

The Uniqueness of East

To the four sons, East was a one-of-a-kind brother. He had a special charisma that was undeniable by anyone who met him. He was patient, understanding and had a personality that was comparable to the sun, never wavering and always shining brightly. His mother and brothers could always rely on East to make a tough situation better, no matter the circumstance.

Conclusion

It was clear to the four sons that their mother was the loving rock that held their family together, but East was the shining star, and despite his lack of age he was always looked up to, as if he was the oldest son. His mother had shown her important role in the raising of him and the other three boys and showed ultimate loyalty in the process.

There was no question that out of the four sons, East was always the brightest gem of them all, and always the one who seemed to get away with very much, but his mother was the one that held the family together and provided support, understanding and care that kept each of her children joyful and successful.
