My Mother always cooked tasty 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 ate 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. "Dear, i like your pie." Later, i asked him if he had told the truth. He put his arm on my shoulder and said, "Your Mother had a tough day at work." "She was tired." "The burnt pie didn't harm me but, a sharp word could have hurt her." We all make mistakes. We shouldn't focus on mistakes but, support those we love. That's the secret of long and happy relationships...
