'altering Decisions'

You made a life altering decision That changed your life. A choice that left mine empty, I hated you for taking my son away with one bullet… I hated you for pulling the trigger that day I wished you were dead too… I wanted you to feel my pain, to experience my heartache I never thought, I would ever forgive you until that day, I realized that the anger that made you pull the trigger are consuming me, drowning me… The love that I had for my son almost completely gone wasted energy and time, time that would not bring my son back neither would the denial that you needed my forgiveness, in the end your sin would not be a continued cycle… My life might have changed forever that day but I also learned the divine gift, forgiving someone can bring about... Even if it took me years to embrace. *loosely based on a true story of a SA mother who forgave her son's killer.. The story was highlighted on Reconciliation Day* © All Rights Reserved
