A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.
The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.
When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words.
What do you think were the four words?The husband just said “I Love You Darling”The husband’s totally unexpected reaction is proactive behaviour The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he have taken time to keep the bottle away, this will not have happened. N0 point in attaching blame. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. We miss out some warmth in human relationship in giving each other support. After all, shouldn’t forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world to do? Treasure what you have. Don’t multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding on to forgiveness.If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world.Take off all your envies, jealousies, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think…!!!
What an amazing thing to do. That is so true, the first thing we look for is who or what to blame. Nothing done or said could make either one of them feel worse than they already do. I know the Lord forgives them if they ask. The hardest part is forgiving yourself.
September 27,1997 I lost my one and only daughter.from dat day my heart become numb until now.love ur kids
this has really touche my heart x.
Our lives have a uncalled for share of disturbing incidents and events, blame the destiny or the Almighty.We tend to amplify the impact of such incidents by giving in to unfair prejudices and by being judgemental at times(or the lack of communication).Probably we could hold back ourselves for a minute and analyse the repercussions of a blunt reaction and focus on the larger picture.Human life is too short to deal with problems which are perception-minted.
Unfortunately, the death of a child is such a pain, that it takes a long time to actually tell you spouse you love them. Many couples split after the death of a child, due to guilt, shame, blame, etc.
Although I whole heartedly believe in the last paragraph BUT both parents were negligent in this story.
Wish there was another way to the story to proof that point…jmo
Totally touched me!! Xx
d right but really hard to do….
If there is nothing that u like. U must like the thing that u hv.
Is call Destiny ! :’/
was as much the fathers fault as the mothers. he knew it was open but couldn’t be bothered to take appropriate action, why would he blame her?
Thank you for this reminder
this touch my heart.
Great lesson.
I hope people think this way…. what done is done nothing will change it <3.
Lord, help us to remain focus at all time on your goodness and mercies
That is not the way the guy should have reacted.
