Thats it, the introduction of the blog with reference to a motivational speech gradually transformed a real life story. I wish to hear it as a real story if it is not, Because this situation might be experienced by many.
Only lucky people will get a chance to live with Grandma and Grand pa, though i was not lucky I witnessed those fine moments through my parents to their grand kids. I know how my Dad used to bring sweets and other stuffs and divides it to all members equally. How those grand kids get into the lap of my Mom when their parents scold them,. Believe there was an exact replica of those shawl too.
And your story with the husband made it a perfect climax. This might be the reaction of most perfect couples and I guessed it in the same before I reads it. The difference with the most people is that they lack the understanding between them.
And regarding that motivational lines, there is a famous quote by JOE ROOT, if my memory is correct. His mantra is to say always, *I LOVE YOU, I AM SORRY, PLEASE FORGIVE, THANK YOU even in adversity comes face to face. There is also another method teach our mind to say and believe ALL IS WELL..ALL IS WELL...
And I am not sure whether it is the right thing to provide a link here, If you gets time please go through this post It is somewhere related to the topic it seems.
