ícone Karen’s angel
 

The teenager waited until the class was over to talk to the teacher. As she trusted him she decided to tell him about the hard times she was going through.

She was about to leave home, though she had nowhere to go. But she could not stand the situation anymore.

Her mother had become a prostitute and several men would go in and out of her house every day.

What a shame! - said Karen. I'm ashamed of my mother. We haven't spoken to each other for a long time.

The teacher, who was senior to world matters, listened to her carefully and suggested she should talk to her mom.

Had she ever asked her what was going on? Why was she acting that way?

Mother and daughter were like two strangers living under the same roof. When one would come in the other one would go out.

Time passed by. A few months after that year was over, the young girl went talking to the teacher again.

She was different. Her face was full of happiness. She had spoken to her mom. It had been a long, painful talk.

Nevertheless, she had realized her mom suffered from a severe crisis of affection.

Her mom had told her about how she had become a widow at such a young age, and with a daughter to look after. She had spoken of Karen's rebel moments and all her other difficulties.

And finally, she had mentioned about the wrong path she had chosen.

Time passed by and Karen met the teacher again to tell him that she and her mom had decided to move.

That they had become friends with each other. That they used to do everything together. That her mom had left that mistaken life behind and would dedicate time to her exclusively.

They would go out, talk, go shopping, and exchange ideas. Her mom was super! - she had found out.

Karen was very thankful to her teacher for having suggested her to talk to her mom and get closer to her.

Today, a few years later, Karen is married and has a son.

The son-in-law considers his mother-in-law a special, dedicated and loving person.

Whenever the couple decides to travel or needs to work late, it is up for the dedicated mom to look after her grandson.

Grandma, Mummy! - these are the magic words that feed Karen's mom's heart.

Actually, Karen's angel. Her life angel, who looks after her, her son-in-law and her grandson.

A straight, honest dialogue is not a common thing. While home, people usually get isolated, hurt with each other due to what has or has not been said, to attitudes taken without the proper thought.

Everything would be much easier if people learned how to talk, and ask the reason of things.

If instead of hiding facts, creating disbeliefs, or causing misleads, we learned how to talk looking at each other's eyes, living this life would become so much easier.

What makes life complicated is the fact that each one of us stay in our corner, wondering we are not loved, wanted.

Whereas it would be so much easier to ask: Why are you acting like that? Why did you take such attitude? Why didn't you do what I asked you to? Why did you forget about our anniversary?

Think about it and start acting so that you never leave a moment for clarifying things behind again.

Talk to your parents, join family reunions, become friends with your beloved ones.

Find out everyone's richness and become rich in the inside, thus making your life full of love, affection and welfare.

Give it a try!
