“HARSH  WORDS HURT”

 

I always liked food prepared by mom. When I was  kid, one night she had made dinner after a long  hard day at work. She placed a plate of bread jam  and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I  was waiting to see if anyone noticed the burnt toast.  But dad just ate his toast and asked me how was my day at school.

 

Afterwards, I do remember I heard mom apologizing  to dad for burning the toast. And I'll never forget  what he said: "Honey, I love burned toast." Later  that night, I went to kiss dad good night and  asked  him if he really liked his toast burnt. He wrapped  me in his arms and said,  "Your momma put in a long hard day at work today  and she was really tired.  

 

And besides,  a burnt  toast never hurts anyone but harsh words do!

 

You know, life is full of imperfect things and  imperfect people. I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I do forget birthdays and  anniversaries just like everyone else. What I've learned over the years, is that learning to accept  each others faults and choosing to celebrate each  other’s differences, is one of the most important  keys to  creating a healthy, growing, and lasting  relationship”. 

 

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. Love the  people who treat you right and have compassion for  the ones who don't. ENJOY LIFE NOW.  It has an expiry  date.
