SHARP WORD HURT

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.

    It’s a beautiful thing to surround yourself with positive energy, allowing that energy to consume you from deep within, you will be more happier, peaceful and above all understanding towards others and yourself, your grandpa’s positive energy was so strong almost tangible
