He reached out and wrapped his arms around his bride,
“Will you forgive an old fool, Martha?”
She hugged him with all the love she still holds for her husband.
“I have forgiven you years ago. I was just waiting for Gods timing to answer my prayer. Now my husband there is another matter we must address.”
She indicated with her hand Jonathan and Kathryn standing there patiently waiting, Kathryn with a big grin.
“Umm Aw Yes. Well… umm it seems I owe you an apology as well young man. I guess the problem was, I saw too much of myself in you, and I wanted more for my daughter. Now as I am reminded, my wife is right. We were happiest before my fortune. Now I come to realize, you are what is best for my daughter. I see in your faces all the love and joy my wife and I have once shared. So with all that said, I give you two my blessing.”
“No, she is promised to me.” Tommy cried, as Kathryn hugged her dad then her mother.
“Young man its Kathryn’s life and her choice if you don’t like her decision then you can leave our home.”
Tommy threw the wine glass and it shattered on the floor and stormed out of the house.
“Everyone it seems the birthday party has just turned into an engagement party. Let’s all enjoy ourselves.” Mitchell said addressing the guest.
Kathryn turned to Jonathan after her dads announcement and threw herself into his arms and kissed him soundly on the lips for all to see, when a sudden burst of cheers and applauds erupted in the room.
Kathryn truly has received the best birthday gift ever, her parents respect and Jonathans love. What more could I ask for? Not a thing. Was her thought as she gazed lovingly into the eyes of the man she loves, her husband to be.
The End
