Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

Rosita let go of Irwin and walked over to the sofa, her arms full of gifts.

"These are all from me, sweetheart. Take a look-see if there's anything you like?"

Irwin's eyes sparkled. "It's Iron Man!"

"Do you like it?" Rosita ruffled his hair, her voice warm. "This is a limited edition, you know. I had to ask several friends for help before I finally managed to get it."

"Thank you, Mom!" Irwin's clear, bright voice echoed through the house. "You're the best!"

Rosita finally burst into a smile through her tears. "Honey, you finally called me Mom."

"Dad just talked to me," Irwin said, carefully setting Iron Man aside. He grabbed a tissue and dabbed at Rosita's tears, his small hands gentle. "He told me you went through a lot to bring me into the world. I'm sorry I was mean to you this morning. I won't ever treat you like that again.”

At his words, Rosita's tears flowed even harder. She looked more fragile and moved than ever.

"No, sweetheart, you didn't do anything wrong-it was me. I promise I'll do my very best to be a good mom from now on."

"You're not bad at all!" Irwin threw his arms around her. "Dad said you always loved me, and I'll love you just as much!"
