Another man's burden?

(16 Quotes Website)

It is going to be a challenge. This is not what he bargained for. It would be too awkward. What should he do? If he left, the boy would feel like it was his fault. He didn’t want that on his conscience. He had to do something. He didn’t see himself in their future.

Michael and Ivy started dating in their later years at the university. It was a beautiful relationship, and everyone thought they were meant for each other, even their parents. Michael felt like he had found his soulmate in Ivy. He was completely blinded by love, and would have done anything for her. After graduating they decided to let each other settle for 3 years before getting married. It would seem everything was OK.

However, things took a turn for the worse when Michael was presenting the dowry to Ivy’s parents. Upon arrival, the door was opened by a 5 year old boy. Michael introduced himself together with his posse, and asked the boy to call his family. The negotiations started off well, and everybody seemed happy with the arrangements.

During lunch, Michael approached the boy. For some strange reason he seem bothered by something, and had a hard time shaking it off. The boy introduced himself as James, and happily called Ivy his mother.

Unappreciated Hero

(Photo Source: www.wakatipuchurch.com/wp-content/uploads/Mother-waiting.gif) Kevin was coming home. It was 3 am in the morning. He had just been dropped off by his friends and was staggering to the doorstep. He looked up and saw the lights from the sitting room were on. He tried to wipe himself to look tidy, not like someone who had just spent the better part of the day smoking and drinking. After his futile attempts he gave up and decided he needed to sleep. He unlocked the door using his keys, entered and shut it. He removed his shoes and tried to tiptoe to his room, but he knew it was futile. "Halo Kevin." "Halo Mom." "Long night I see?" "Yes mom, I enjoyed myself." "That is good my son, but I have a question to ask, or rather a favor." "Not again mom. For crying out loud it is 3 am in the morning. Can't we just talk tomorrow?"
