ANSWER :
The husband just said “I am with you Darling”
The husband’s totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behaviour.
The Child is dead. He can never be brought back to life.
There is no point In finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to Keep the bottle away, this would not have happened.
No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she Needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.
MORAL OF THE STORY
If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would Be much fewer problems in the world. “A journey of a thousand miles Begins with a single step.” Take off all your envies, jealousies, Unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are Actually not as difficult as you think.
Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, Whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this Way we miss out the warmth in human relationship.
I like the story very much. Thanks for posting this. I always try to be like that man.
Idiots.. They should not be allowed to breed
Nice one to read, But very tough to practice, Wish we all can do so in times of test.
hi im a mother,and i got the message of this story,this was really touching,i sometimes forget things that sometimes may harm my LO...im not a perfect mom nor a wife,accidents can happen to anyone at anytime...this story just showed what kind of relationship the husband and wife have :)
really touching,what mistake they did It was so big mistake .they can't get their child again but giving blame to eachother will make life so difficult. it was nice step what husband did.
not so touched by this... they could've been more careful and took the time to put the cap back on and tuck it away in the medicine cabinet..
Stories are just stories dude
Touchy...
But, I beg to differ with the 2nd part;
What were the five words......That is what he gave her.
Husband and wife were equally responsible for the mishap.
Nice one,,,,,,,,,,
Wonderful , thank you for sharing
