| The Limits of Love |
After the divorce, her teenage daughter became
increasingly rebellious.
It culminated late one night when the police called to
tell her that she had to come to the police station to
pick up her daughter, who was arrested for drunk
driving.
They didn't speak until the next afternoon.
Mom broke the tension by giving her daughter a small
gift-wrapped box.
Her daughter nonchalantly opened it and found a small
piece of a rock.
She rolled her eyes and said, "Cute Mom, what's this
for?"
"Here's the card," Mom said.
Her daughter took the card out of the envelope and
read it. Tears started to trickle down her cheeks.
She got up and gave her mom a big hug as the card
fell to the floor.
On the card were these words:
"This rock is more than 200 million years old. That's
how long it will take before I give up on you."
