One morning I awoke to my father telling me that he didn't love my mother any less than yesterday and that it was not her fault. He told me that relationships are fragile things and that they can complicate life but they also make it so much better. He said not to judge her nor myself for it will be all in vain. Time would be better spent focusing on the positives instead of the negatives. He told me to live a simple life and to look for the good in people.
