"I like you; I love you, and I'm sorry!"
That's what my "little" (8 years younger than me) brother always said to my mom at the supper table, whenever there was a tense moment, because she was upset with her family. While all of us "older' children (and my dad) sat silent, unsure how to handle the moment, he would simply say to Mom (in a soft, loving way), "I like you, I love you, and I'm sorry." It usually worked like a charm!
Hmmmm...maybe it should be used at all those difficult moments in a family setting.

I remember Colleen telling me Tom often said that, but I did not know the curcumstances. Thanks.
