Awesome Story,These flowers can only come from someone with a Garland of experience like yours.
Rightly said Vaishali ji.....it's takes a lot of courage to forgive someone. I am sure you would have read " Kshama Veerasya Aabhushanam " ( viz.Forgiveness is a rare jewel found with courageous people )
Though God is so kind and forgives us for our every sin/ multiple sins, lets all make sure that we do not take an undue advantage of this amnesia and try and not repeat our mistakes.

Rajesh, dear brother,
your answer just leaves me standing (or rather sitting) here with mouth open! "Welcome" say all the flowers in BABA SAI's garden of Paradise "to this marvellous newbutterfly."
Yes, it takes courage, to forgive someone, the courage to overcome our own hurt feelings, the courage not to take ourselves for the center of the world and the courage to trust him or her, who did us wrong, that he or she won't do it again.
And not all, my dear sister Vaishali, not all may have that courage. So after we've asked them for forgiveness and done anything within our power to put right what we did wrong, there's nothing more we can do but to wait patiently, get in touch every now and then, pray for them, love them from a distance.
And yes, dear Rajesh, we sould not overuse God's amnesia. It was exactly that point that made me hesitate to post the story, but then the inner nudge was so strong ...
... thank you for adding that very important point.
Ramesh, my beloved brother, I would have loved to leave the last word to you, moreover since your words are so beautiful. But then again, my heart jumped with joy about these butterflies in BABA's garden and the reverberations went into my fingers and they happened to be on the keyboard ....
Om Sai Ram
Astrid
