My Grandmother always cooked tasty food. But one day, she put a burnt pie in front of my Grandpa. Not just a little burnt, but black as coal. I waited to see what my Grandpa would say. But he just ate the pie and asked how my day was. Then i heard my Grandmother apologize to him for his dinner. I'll never forget his response. "Dear, i like ur pie." Later, i asked him if he had told the truth. He put his arm on my shoulder and said, "Your Grandma had a tough day at work." "She was tired." "The burnt pie didn't harm me but, a sharp word could've hurt her." We all make mistakes. We shouldn't focus on mistakes but, support those we love.
