Seeing the parent, not much older than, me was hard, and his response to the shooters family...
So emotional. I couldn't even fathom putting myself in there shoes. Nor would I, but in such a tragedy I too wish for peace and love.
Perhaps this is not the place to post this, but I think of the people that I literally "hate". They are few. However, this mans message brings a whole different perspective to forgiveness and peace. Can I forgive those people? He didn't say he forgives the shooter, but who can really blame him. It's a touching speech filled with much hurt and love. It's very moving and in such difficult times it is inspiringly written in his daughters memory.
