An old woman was lying on her deathbed and looking back on her life. She knew the end was close and she had to clear her heart of guilt. Her four daughters came to her, and she told them a truth she had been hiding for years.

One by one, they came to see her, and she told them things she had been keeping locked away for their entire lives. One by one, they forgave her and left the room in thought. Then it was her husband’s turn. The two of them had stayed married for the children’s sake, and now she could finally get this all off her chest.

Her husband came in, and she decided it was time to finish this before she died. “Now that the end is close, I have to tell you something. I know the two of us never had what you would call a good marriage, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise. I was unfaithful to you many times over our marriage.”
