"Sorry.
Sorry means you feel the pulse of other people's pain as well as your own,
and saying it means you take a share of it.
And so it binds us together, makes us trodden and sodden as one another.
Sorry is a lot of things. It's a hole refilled. A debt repaid.
Sorry is the wake of misdeed.
It's the crippling ripple of consequence.
Sorry is sadness, just as knowing is sadness.
Sorry is sometimes self-pity. But Sorry, really, is not about you.
It's theirs to take or leave.
Sorry means you leave yourself open, to embrace or to ridicule or to revenge.
Sorry is a question that begs forgiveness,
because the metronome of a good heart won't settle
until things are set right and true.
Sorry doesn't take things back, but it pushes things forward.
It bridges the gap.
Sorry is a sacrament.
It's an offering.
A gift."
Craig Silvey, Jasper Jones
The minute she saw the note, she melted...a smile broke out...And then he joined her...and what followed next was a silent communication of apology, acceptance, teasing and joy from relief.
There was nothing dramatic in the scene...just subtle simplicity of one of those moments that defines the journey of love of a couple which sometimes encounter roadblocks ..and while they overcome those hurdles together..their bond strengthens...
It was a classic YHM moment...I just loved it..hope I have expressed it well enough.
Note: Just wanted to share this with you guys...I'll not be able to respond here as I still have backlog of responses in my daily post from yesterday.😳
