I didn’t trust my wife, so I decided to send my entire monthly salary to my mother so she could keep it safe…

— I don’t know if you will ever forgive me — I said — but I will spend the rest of my life trying to become a better person.

Lucía didn’t answer immediately.

She simply watched our son walking ahead of us, hopping along the sidewalk.

Then she said quietly:

— Time will tell.

I didn’t recover the money.

I didn’t regain the comfortable life I once had.

But that day I understood something far more important:

Money can disappear.

Pride can destroy  families.

But if love still exists… there is always a chance to start again.
