How will you react?
There was this happily married and loving couple. After years of trying for a baby, they finally gave birth to a boy. And of course, both of them love the boy with all their heart and treated him like a treasure. One day, when the boy was about 3 yrs old, as the father was going to work, he saw a bottle of cough syrup that was left on the table uncapped. Because he was rushing for work, he shouted to his wife, reminding her to put the cap back on the bottle of medicine, and left the house. The mother, busy with her chores in the kitchen, decided to do it later. However, in the meantime, the little boy walk to the table, took the bottle and gulped down the entire bottle. Unknown to them, the medicine was a strong one meant for adults only. Even adult should at most only take a teaspoon at a time. Soon the baby collapsed. As soon as the mother realised what had happened, she rushed the boy to the hospital. However, it was too late and the boy passed away. Devastated, the mother could only sit there in the hospital, in tears. Soon the husband arrived at the hospital. After seeing their dead child, he walked over to his wife, looked at her and said 5 words.....What do you think he said? If you are the husband, how would you react? What will you say?
Give it some thoughts......
He said, "I'm here with you, darling..."
What has happened cannot be changed. Nobody wants this to happen. There is no point trying to pint the blame at anyone, it doesn't help anything. The best thing we can do is to stand by the person we love, and walk through this ordeal together, giving each other love and support.
