Children, Don't Worry

     Once upon a time there was a happy family.
     One day the boy in the family, Patrick, said a surly thing to his Ma.  She knew he loved her but he was just a little surly to her because she didn't listen to him.  He'd had it.
     She knew he meant well, but he was so hard on himself.  He thought she didn't love him anymore, for why would she?  he surmised.
     She wrote him a note to tell him she loved him, just incase he forgot.  So children, don't worry if you make a mistake.  Parents still love you and want the best for you.  Amen.
