TASK 2

Being a mother is hard it is much of a responsibility and needs a lot of effort to handle it.I have
always tried to keep my promises with my kids.But it is so hard to keep up with all four of them especially when each has his own wishes but I regretted not fulfilling one promise after what happened with my daughter.

It was her first musical concert where she played the piano in and I missed it because I had planned plenty of things on that day.This was 3 years ago when my daughter was in the fourth grade and she had been playing the piano since she was four.She has finally decided to play in the school music band I encouraged her a lot since I know she is so talented.She was so happy when she found out that the teacher chose her to play at the concert which was held on Mother's Day.She came home so excited telling me that she already save me a seat and I promised her that I will be first in the hall and that I will feel every moment of her playing to keep it as a memory.She was sure that I will be there to support her. Later on that day,I received a phone call from the hospital saying my mother in the emergency department and I should be there as soon as possible, and sure the result for that I had missed my daughter's performance.I was very sorry and sad for doing that,I called her telling her how sorry I am .she was very sad, angry and held grudge against me I understood that she going through a hard time, she refused to talk to me for a couple of weeks.I tried to explain many times for her how I missed her performance but she would not accept.Until finally I got the idea of inviting her friends over and make her play the piano for them while I am there,I made the whole setup for the house to look like a mini stage and invited her friends over.We all surprised her with the decorations and she played the piano so nice.

Finally, she forgave me and I promised to never miss anything again.I felt so good when we fixed what I had messed up because I understand how devastated she must have felt when I didn't show up.But luckily I made it up to her. Also, I learned never miss up any special event for my kids and if that happens I do my best to make up to all my mistakes.
