Forgiveness

Forgiveness is sweet.

Sometimes I'd like to be like a child and forget the hassles of the day before and start fresh.  I wake up and always seem to remember what happened the day before.

Take last night, for example.  We had a major homework blowup.  It was not fun around our house - we even scared off my niece and her boyfriend!  Ster has gotten in the habit of saying he can't do it.  And I have gotten into the habit of saying "Yes, you can.  You aren't trying."  Well, it ended up in a battle of epic proportions.  He didn't know the meanings of any of the words he had to know and he couldn't read out of the dictionary because the words were too little and he couldn't figure out the correct answer because he didn't know it.  Frustrating.

This morning, Sterling woke up as happy as can be and was just as cheerful as ever.  He sure didn't act like the pissed-off boy he was yesterday.  And he wasn't in the least bit mad at me for getting on him last night.

Last night he hated me.

This morning he loves me.
