Returning from a trip overseas, I sensed that something was wrong between Keith, one of my two sons, and me. So I asked him, “Keith, have I done anything that really  41  your feelings?”

Immediately, he said, “Yes, last Christmas you promised us a special  42 that I really wanted but you  43 gave it to me.”

The  44  was that I’d completely forgotten about it. I  45  , “Is there anything else I’ve done wrong, but I haven’t apologized  46  ?”

Again, his  47  was immediate, “Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the  48  because Kate, my little sister, was going to be born? You left us at home and  49    in a hurry. Remember?”

“Well, you left and forgot the suitcase.” I couldn’t believe he  50  all the details! “After you came back from the hospital you were  51 to see the suitcase had been opened and  52  had been thrown all over the place, and then you  53  me.”

“And you didn’t do it?” I asked.

My heart sank. I felt  54 . I hugged Keith and asked him to  55  me. His honesty made me think of my other son, Kevin. Maybe I’d hurt his feelings, too. I went to ask him the  56    question. Kevin answered as immediately as his  57 , “Last Christmas you promised us a special toy, but you forget about it.”

58 Christmas had passed, I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised. The  59  thing wasn’t the toy. The problem was that I’d made a promise too  60  and didn’t keep it as their mother.
