The father grabbed his son’s attention away from his overbearing mother and said, “Go now before it gets too late and you miss her. If you let this young lady get away you’ll regret it for the rest your life. It makes no difference whether your mother will accept her or not. Here take this money and my credit card and get going now.”
The boy responded, “Dad, I don’t want your money only you’re blessing.”
The dad, somewhat choked up, replied, “My dear son you already had my admiration, my blessing is given to you freely and with much joy.”
