When I was a kid, my Mom liked to cook food and every now &
then I remember she used to cook for us. One night in particular
when she had made dinner after a long hard day at work, Mom
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. I don't remember what I told him that night, but 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 Daddy good night and I asked him if
he really liked his toast burned. 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 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 :)
