ANSWER :

The husband just said "I Love You Darling" .

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive

behavior. He is indeed a genius in human relationships. The

child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is

no point in finding fault with the mother. She had also lost

her only child. What she needed at that moment was

consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he

gave her.

If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective,

there would be much fewer problems in the world. To be happy

lot and love her with all your heart. "A journey of a

thousand miles, begins with but with a single step." Take off

all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and

fears AND you will find things are actually not so difficult

as you think."
