Now my own children have grown up .It was late on Thanksgiving Eve.As I slept in my bedroom,a familiar hand ran across my face to push the hair from my head. Then a kiss, ever so softly, touched my brow .
Taking my mom’s hand, I told her how sorry I was for that night I shouted at her. But my mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had forgotten it long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my mother’s caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.
