Here is my piece for the Three Word Wednesday prompt this week:
Mary wept, tears covering her hands. The daily dose of anger she dished out at her eight year old backfired when he simply said, “I’m sorry, Mom, I love you,” and gave her a hug. The arrow of shame that shot through her pierced her heart and brought her to her knees. It appears I need to stay on my knees a while and pray I can change my ways, she thought, holding the most important thing in her life close.

Awww ... at least it wasn't too late for her to change her ways.
Lovely use of the 3WW prompt and, thanks for visiting me, too :)
Sad, but with a good ending.
Quite a lot of meaning for so few
words. Good job.
mother mary..whether we are biological mothers..or just have precious people in our lives..it always pays to sit a while and think..maybe just before we speak..Jae
Thanks, everyone. I do wish everyone would stop and think before getting angry, with kids and each other.
Short and sweet, that is the best way to quell anger, hug and a kiss. The mother should be thankful to have such a daughter.
The lessons we learn when we become a child's caretaker..
Everyday miracle, poignant and
life-affirming.
Nice. I like the way the meaning was so strong in such a small package. Well done.
