Sam and his mother lived in a country side. Sam was around 13 years old. He wanted to study but his financial conditions forced him to work to earn living for himself and his old mother. His mother worked as a gardener and its care taker. They would take care of the garden and sell the fruits of the garden in the market for earning livings.

Once I read this story some where and it moved me from within. So I would like to share it .

It goes like this

My son,

I know that you have killed my son , although knowing that I would like to tell you that I forgive you from the bottom of my heart.

I know that this is something that no one would believe but I would like to tell you that I have no feeling of revenge for you in my heart and I really forgive you. Read more

Some people, though are shy, introverted, or just uncomfortable and don’t know what to say. Read more
