They say time heals all wounds, but that is absolutely not the case when you forgot to bring the cranberry sauce to a Thanksgiving eleven years ago. Your own family will needle you on a disaster like that for the rest of their lives. People will remain salty about petty injustices, and there's not really too much anyone can do about it. There's always forgiveness, but then no one would get to complain and where's the fun in that.
