My sister-in-law cheated on me a year ago, and my brother divorced her without hesitation. Yesterday, I went to the supermarket to buy things and happened to meet my brother's ex-father-in-law. The ex-father-in-law told me that my sister-in-law was seriously ill and would not live long.
When I learned the news, I was shocked. Seriously ill? Not long to live! I murmured to myself, as if I suddenly figured out something
The ex-father-in-law looked at me, his eyes full of helplessness and sadness, and he continued: "I know you all hate her, hate her cheating, hate her for hurting your family. But when she knew that she didn't have much time left, she regretted it and wanted to see your brother."
I was stunned, with mixed feelings in my heart. My brother and I were once full of resentment towards my sister-in-law, but now, she is facing the end of her life. I can't imagine how she would feel at this time.
I nodded and expressed my willingness to go see her. The ex-father-in-law looked at me gratefully, and he knew that this was a big concession for me.
I went home and told my brother the news. My brother hesitated for a while, but finally decided to go see her. We came to the hospital with a heavy heart.
My sister-in-law on the bed was so thin that she was almost unrecognizable. Her face was full of pain and regret. When she saw us come in, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.
My brother walked to her bed, looked at her, and said nothing. My sister-in-law's eyes were full of tears, and she said softly: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
My brother was silent for a while, and then said: "Let the past go."
My sister-in-law burst into tears, she held my brother's hand tightly and said: "Thank you, thank you for coming to see me."
We spent some time with my sister-in-law. Although she was in pain, she seemed to get some comfort. We left the hospital with a lot of emotion in our hearts.
This incident made me understand that no matter how much we hate a person, when life comes to an end, all the resentment becomes insignificant. Tolerance and forgiveness are the best way for us to face life.
