Mom Furious upon Seeing Her Sons Cry after Opening Presents They Received from Their Aunt

But at that moment, it felt as if karma had finally played a prank against my sister. I almost felt sorry that she had to drive in wet clothes, but the look on my children’s faces was enough to ignore her.

“It’s almost burger time,” I said, walking into the basement.

“It’s time for the real party now,” Antonio said.

I pulled my boys into a big hug, giving them kisses on their heads.

“Forget about Aunt Kim’s silly joke, okay? It was her being silly, and that’s okay. It was nothing to punish you. Come on! Let’s party!”

As bedtime approached and Antonio and I put the boys to bed, I was grateful that they hadn’t taken it to heart.

Then, getting into bed, my phone chimed with a message. Only one word stood out on the screen.

Sorry.

I couldn’t help but smile. This may be the beginning of Kim’s awareness, a small step toward change.

I hope she takes this to heart, and that Kim can be a part of the family again. But for now, I’ll keep my kids away from her.
