Tension fills the room and black clouds linger by the ceiling fan. Dinner was late, bills piled up, nobody called home.
Now you’re steaming in front of the TV while they’re crying softly in the bedroom upstairs. The stalemate burns quietly until they come down, enter the room slowly, grab your shirt sleeves and look right at you with a pair of warm, moist eyes while starting to give you a soft, smiling apology.
But you see them coming and your stomach churns with a wave of regret so before they even get it out, you interrupt with a head shake and a hug.
AWESOME!

This is so sweeeeeeet. :)
A very awesome thing that I haven’t experienced in quite a while.
I love wordless apologies….I feel like they say more than a whole book full of sorrys ever could.
That one’s a tear jerker. = D
True. Those moments when two people are at peace with each other, and they don’t even have to say anything.
AWESOME!
Truly awesome. I think I need a hug.

*hug*
This one made me get teary-eyed. Wordless apologies always end with something awesome: a really good, half-sobbing laugh or a kiss.
Teary, half-sobbing laughs.
AWESOME!
Aww..cute picture!
… awesome
Sweeet picture! Though I confess, I do prefer hearing at least a couple of mumbled words of apology before the makeup hug.
Yeah, hugs are pretty awesome. Big “guts hugs” from the kiddos are most awesome of all. “Guts hugs” — fyi — is a hug so big it “squeezes your guts.” At least that’s how my son described it. :-)
Getting one from the kiddies is the bestest hugs of all. Esp. when they are saying their sorry for some minor thing they did wrong.
Kids hugs….Awesome!

Never talk during when apologizing, it only locks you into a story.
Apologies are great – everybody is at some point in need of either giving one or receiving one!!
YES! Awesome! This brought tears to my eyes.
I consider myself so lucky that my mom never let me cry in my room by myself, she would always come up and hug me, I love her so much for that! And I get the point of your post, it’s so sweet! The picture says it all!

It’s more than awesome, it’s perfect.
The best wordless apology I’ve ever had was a kiss. It says it all.
Where are those geometric avatars from? How are they generated? How do I get one . . .
If it’s after a tiff with a partner, my favorite part is the long, lingering kiss afterward.

Last year, Oprah had Ali McGraw and Ryan O’neal on, re: their roles in “Love Story” and discussion about the famous line:
“Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” and “they all laughed!
“They” never even got it!
This was my best friend *Shelley’s favorite novel, movie and theme song. In 1974, when she was 13, Shelley defined it as this:
“When people are loving there are no reasons or needs to be sorry; actions speak volumes… when loving!”
Shelley was a tiny bundle of joy, smarts, smiles and LOVE.
:)
*I fell short of my best friends definition and am truly sorry!
Given the chance, I’d be speaking volumes in my actions:-)
