The document discusses a mother asking her son over many years what he thinks is the most important part of the body. Through his younger answers of ears and eyes, the mother refutes them by noting that some people are deaf or blind. After the son's grandfather passes away and he sees his father crying, the mother reveals that the most important part is the shoulder, not because it holds up the head, but because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry, as everyone needs a shoulder to cry on at some point in life.
