"Family first"

As Ann bumped into a stranger...
Ann:Excuse me please
Stranger:Excuse me please too ma’am...
Both were very polite to oneanother...

However, at home how we treat our loved ones is different from how we treat strangers...
While preparing dinner, her son stood still beside Ann. As she turned, without noticing anyone, she nearly knocked him down. Ann shouted at him to move out of the way. She never realized how harshly she spoke. As Ann retire to sleep, her inner voice spoke;
Voice: "While with a stranger, you used courtesy, but with family you love, you'r abusive. Look on the kitchen floor, find flowers by the door your son picked for you. He stood still not to spoil the surprise,you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes when you harshly scolded.
Ann felt ashamed &tears fell freely. She went by his bedside & woke him...
Ann: Are these the flowers you picked for me?
Son: Yes, found them while playing and picked them because am sure you will like them especially the beautiful pink ones. Ann became emotional...
Ann: Son, mummy loves you, sorry for yelling at you then...
Son: Ok mum, love you too...

@kenhudoy Thats 100% true!
Most of us dont find time or we even feel artificial or formal to show love or kindness to our family members but we do show love to outsiders.
But this is the great short story to make us feel to shower the love to family members open heartedly!

Hello @kenhudoy

This is a short story but it is packed with morals.

Most parents fail to realize the Importance of encouraging their children, it is a major determinant when it comes to the level of self esteem the child will possess.

Nice Story Upvoted.

Really enjoyed the story specially being a mom, I can see how this could easily happen without being aware of the impact it makes on our little children. The message is even more powerful still and so very true. We must place those we love first when it comes to courtesy, patience and compassion.
