"Any fool knows men and women think differently at times, but the biggest difference is this. Men forget, but never forgive; women forgive, but never forget."— Robert Jordan

I'll never stop loving you

Matt called Jillian dumb this morning.  After a lengthy lecture about why we don't call people names, Matt went up to Jill, unprompted, gave her a hug and an apology.  Jill hugged him back, her cheek against his chest, his chin resting on top of her head, and she said, "That's okay Matthew, I will always keep loving you, no matter what."

That really touched my heart because, #1 I didn't have to tell Matt to give Jillian a hug and an apology, he thought of it all on his own, and #2, what Jillian said to Matthew is something I always tell the kids when they do something wrong.  After punishing or lecturing or talking to them, I always follow it up with a hug and tell them that no matter what they do, I'll never ever stop loving them.
