PASS THE BISCUITS

When I was a kid, my mom liked to make breakfast food for 
dinner every now & then & I remember one night in particular when she 
had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so 
long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned 
biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone 
noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my mom 
and ask me how my day was at school.

I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember 
hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll 
never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burned biscuits."

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked 
him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms 
and said, "Your momma put in a long hard day at work today and she's 
real tired. And besides....A burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!"

You know, life is full of imperfect things....And imperfect 
people. I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays 
and anniversaries just like everyone else. What I've learned over the 
years is that learning to accept each others faults and choosing to 
celebrate each other’s differences, is one of the most important keys 
to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

So....please pass me a biscuit. And yes, the burned one will 
do just fine! And please pass this along to someone who has enriched 
your life....I just did!

Life is too short to wake up with regrets....Love the people 
who treat you right and forget about the ones who don't.

ENJOY LIFE NOW - IT HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE! .
