That was beautiful - thanks for sharing Kimmio. I am reminded of a case here in BC in which a woman not only forgave her husband's murderer, but visited him in prison. When he got out, they started working together - visiting high schools, that sort of thing. You can read more of their story here (warning: this is another heartwrenching link): http://www.restorativejustice.org/editions/2004/September/cji.

The widow of a New Brunswick Highway Patrol Officer who was murdered asked for mercy for her husband's killer. These are the wise ones, the people who know holding on to anger, hatred and a desire for revenge are harmful to ourselves.
