Forever
After
the divorce, her teenage daughter
became increasingly rebellious.
It culminated late one night
when the police arrested her
daughter for drunk driving.
Mom had to go to the police
station to pick her up.
They
didn't speak until the next
afternoon. Mom broke the tension
by giving her a small gift-wrapped
box. Her daughter nonchalantly
opened it and found a little
rock inside. She rolled her
eyes and said, "Cute,
Mom, what's this for?"
"Read the card,"
Mom instructed.
Her
daughter took the card out
of the envelope and read it.
Tears started to trickle down
her cheeks. She got up and
lovingly hugged her mom as
the card fell to the floor.
On
the card were these words:
"This rock is more than
200,000,000 years old. That's
how long it will take before
I give up on you."
