The power of 4 simple words |

The Mistakes we make often form who we are. It is only after we have made the long journey from start to finish that we realize some mistakes are the greatest blessing in disguise.
I have travelled the long road and made my fair share of mistakes. I have been
at the intersections of life and taken the wrong turn I have at times chosen the path less travelled.
As my grandfather said to me recently “Your train came off those tracks real quick, but you seem now to have found the rails again.” These words meant so much to me.
I also recall the greatest thing said to me by my mother recently, these simple 4 words brought tears to my eyes, I had just called her from work to tell her I had received the pay rise I felt I deserved after 2 years of being with the company, when I told her she paused for a second the from the other end of the phone I heard “I’m proud of you”. These simple words meant so much to me because she had always been there to help when I needed it, she remained there even when I pushed he away and after all the things I had done to let her down, she was still proud of where I have ended up.
We now have a great relationship and I can understand now where she was coming from.
So I would just like to remind all the Mums (and Dads) out there, sometimes our children will make mistakes, and will take the paths we would not wish them to take but at the end of the day if you stick with them things may turn out great, and those words 4 words that meant so much to me could mean the same for you child.
