My Mother always cooked delicious food. But one day, she put a “burnt pie” in front of my Father.
Not just a little burnt, but black as coal.
I waited to see what my Father would say.
But he just consume the pie and asked how my day was.
Then i heard my Mother apologize to him for his dinner.
I'll never forget his response.
"Honey, i like your pie."
Later, i asked my Father if he had told the truth. My Father put his arm on my shoulder and said,
“Your Mother had a tough day at work."
"She was weary and tired."
"The “burnt pie” didn't hurt me but a piercing, razor-sharp word could have hurt her."
We all make mistakes, and some are really damn bad mistakes.
But we shouldn't focus on those mistakes, rather support those whom we truly love.
That's the best kept secret of long, blissful and happy relationships...
