A boy who could make his mother feel special inspite of his own ordeals is the boon from God in lieu of some good deed.

My mother can't have been magic, or she wouldn't have died", said Riddle

Mothers should be very careful what type of boys and men they create, or allow to be created.

for a moment, I stand in the doorway, watching the steady rise and fall of their chests. I listen to the gentle hum of their breaths and I wonder when my little babies started to turn into men. And I pray. I pray that my boys will be good men. That they will know how to treat the women in their lives, and more than anything, I pray to God that they will be good fathers, despite the fact that they’ve had no one to show them how.
