I want to tell you a very interesting story. It’s a story about two girlfriends and their mothers. Two girls were friends. One girl’s name was Rebecca, and the other girl’s name was Emily. They had been friends since kindergarten. They lived in the same yard. They grew up together and were simply inseparable. Many people thought they were sisters.
Rebecca’s mother worked several jobs. She loved her daughter very much and spent a lot of time with her. She did not take care of herself and did not eat well. She seldom bought new or beautiful clothes. But she bought her husband and daughter everything. But neither her daughter nor her husband appreciated her for that.
And Emily’s mother was left to herself. Yemily’s mother also worked, but only one job. When her mother came home, she would cook something delicious. But she ate the first bite by herself. And then Mom would go to her room. There she would read a book or listen to music. She wasn’t constantly trying to please her husband and daughter. She didn’t berate herself or get nervous about not getting things done or not getting things done. She always said:
– For you to be happy, I, first of all, must be happy!
Emilie was very jealous of Rebecca and was convinced that her mother did not love her at all.
Years went by.
Rebecca’s mother has become very ill and she looks very bad. She has no strength or health now. And Emilie’s mom is now helping her daughter, looking great and traveling.
It turns out that Emilie’s mother is a very smart woman and was right when she said that for a family to be happy, first of all, the mother must be happy…
