It was one of an african american young man maybe in his early 20's that had saved a mother and her children by his heroic efforts on that night. And this is what he had to say when asked by the reporter as to how he is going to cope with all this. His quote " I am going to forgive the shooter". The reporter repeated back what did you say and he said again "I am going to forgive the shooter because it is a much harder thing for me to do, to forgive him. I would like to share that as I was watching all this unfold, I too found myself praying for the victims families and their loved ones and the shooters family as well. And then I just felt moved to pray for the shooter and for the salvation of his soul which I did....No matter how hard this is to say and for you to read this..it was the right thing to do. But indeed hard for me as well..

All day I pondered the shotting from a rather removed state, but kept coming back to the same quote you did: You have the right person. Your words often make me smile (I'm basically you about a decade ago with my own 5 boys), but today you did one better - you identified my feelings and pinpointed what I couldn't. I hurt for the moms, but specifcally for that one. Thanks for a beautiful post. <br />And...I hope you still write about packing for your trip, when you are ready.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
