My parents mocked my husband for years: his height, his past, and even humiliated him at our wedding. But when they lost everything and came begging him for $20,000, they expected easy forgiveness. He agreed… but only on one condition they never saw coming.I’ll never forget the look on my mother’s face at my wedding.nstead of looking happy, she was embarrassed. “Please let the earth open up and swallow me whole” type of embarrassed.And all because my husband, Jordan, was born with achondroplasia. In layman’s terms, he has dwarfism.Because of that, I once heard my parents call him a “genetic stain” on the family name.When I walked down the aisle on our wedding day, I thought my parents’ looks of shame would be the worst part of the day.

I was wrong.Please let the earth open up and swallow me whole.”During the reception, Dad stepped up to the microphone, already laughing.To the couple! May their children be able to reach the dinner table!”A few people chuckled nervously.I felt my face burn. I wanted to crawl under the table.But Jordan took my hand in his and whispered, “Don’t let it get to you.””How can I not? That’s my father, and what he just said… God!”I know, but trust me: life is a lot easier when you let the ugly remarks go.”
