Even Through Food

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 n asked how my day was.

Then i heard my Grand Mother 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 n said, “Ur 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.
