Of Love, Forgivingness and Crocheting.‏

A man and woman had been
married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything.
They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from
each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in
the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband
never to open or ask her about.

For all of these years, he
had never thought about the box, but one day the little old
woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.
In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old
man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside.
She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the
box.

When he opened it, he found
two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000. He asked
her about the contents. "When we were to be married,"
she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy
marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got
angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."

The little old man was so
moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were
in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all
those years of living and loving. He almost burst
with happiness.

"Honey," he
said, "that explains the doll, but what about all of this
money? Where did it come from?"

"Oh," she
said, "That’s the money I made from selling the dolls."
