A Spoiled Son’s Shocking Request
Rick, the youngest of seven and the only son, was used to getting his way. Just weeks before his wedding, he demanded $8,300 from his mom, Carmen—the same amount she once spent on a wedding dress for one of his sisters.
“I want what you’ve given my sisters,” Rick insisted. Carmen refused.

The Fallout
Furious, Rick accused his mother of favoritism and uninvited her from the wedding. Carmen was heartbroken, but stood her ground. Rick’s father and sisters also skipped the event in support of her.

Reality Sets In
After the honeymoon, Rick confessed to his wife Sandy that he missed his family.
“I think you need to apologize,” Sandy urged. Though reluctant, Rick eventually picked up the phone.

A Mother’s Forgiveness
“I’m sorry… I want to be a better person,” Rick said. Carmen, through tears, forgave him. A week later, the whole family reunited for a joyful dinner—finally celebrating his wedding together.

Takeaway
Unconditional love can be firm—but it always forgives.
