A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter. The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its color and 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 five words.




[center]QUESTIONS :
1. What were the five words ?
2. What is the implication of this story?










ANSWER :
The husband just said "I am with you Darling"[/center]

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. 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 had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened, No one is to be blamed. 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.

If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world. "A journey of a thousand miles
begins with a single step". Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
This story is really worth reading. , Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship,
in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out something called L.I.F.E

^^^^^^ love it!! Thanks Manta!

very nice of d hubby i tink i will emulate him

Dat is a good husband i pray i should be like that

A beautiful piece.

Nice, I am trying to apply a similar philosophy to my life. It goes like this: If something does not add value to me, I just let it go. From the story, shouting or yelling at the woman would not bring the child back. The man also knew that no one can love a child more than its mother, not even the father. Her pain would exceed his, so she needed his support.

If it is a true story, BIG RESPECT TO THE MAN.

Intresting but if you ask me i will say such is very very rare. its like an ideal case not really practical. am not saying it cant happen but sincerely speaking, it is rare.

Wow, what a touching story. The world would be a better place indeed if 70% of the people on earth can have the type of wisdom the husband displayed in the story.

Nice story. I learnt from it.

make una fear God and stop wishing evil on other people.

Awww . . nice story!

Reminds me of my uncle's wife who some years ago was walking down the stair case with her new born; she tripped and fell and the baby fell off her hands, bounced down the staircase (much like a football ) . . . . and died!

The family wanted her head on a platter of gold . . . but her husband stood by her through it all! They had 3 more kids after that and they are living happily even after!

Mpcheewww
Y'all should get real abeg

That was a beautiful conclusion to the story. It was beautiful that it makes me feel sad, ashamed and enlightened.

Wow.... Kinda learnt smfin new 2day
