Thank you for this vulnerable expression of forgiveness.I can so relate.

My late husband Pat, stood in a courtroom in Vista CA, on September 11, 2006, and forgave the drunk driver who took the life of two young Marines in December 2005. The drunk driver made one huge mistake, to drink and drive. Two lives were lost that night, one being Pat's son. Shortly, after the sentencing, God called Pat home as well. I imagine he and Justin had quite the reunion. By the way, the local San Diego news on 9-11-06 broadcasted the courtroom scene of Pat forgiving the drunk driver.

Dear Karen, I had mentioned your story of forgiveness to my small group at church. Isn't it amazing what we can do with the power of Christ? And who knows how many people might have been impacted by Pat's forgiveness.
