Since our last unpleasant meal at the
restaurant, George and the others had quieted down for a while.
Just as I thought life was finally returning to

“Mom, I was very well–behaved today, and the teacher gave me a little red flower as a reward.”
The father and son took turns to pester me.

“But you wavered, every time you left me to take care of her, wasn’t that a hurt to me.
“I used to love you, and I would persuade myself to forgive you again and again.
“Now I don’t love you anymore, naturally I can’t do the so–called forgiveness.”
Alexander staggered as if he had heard some unbelievable news, falling back into his seat.
He reached out to grab something, but it was in vain.
