Quote by Jacqueline Simon Gunn

“Forgiveness was complicated. When someone hurt us, betrayed us, they took something from us, trust, a belief that life was predictable, faith in people. It was easier to stay angry at someone else than to admit how vulnerable we were. We could all get hurt. And the people we loved the most were the ones that could hurt us the greatest. We were most vulnerable to them. But what was love if not giving those parts that scared us.”

“So we sat down together and talked for two and a half hours. It was just extraordinary. Because I'm very death, I was sitting very close to him. He was unshackled. When it got time for us to leave, he stood up, and I did, too. And it seemed the most natural thing in the world that we had our arms around one another. It was an unbelievable moment, that I could have the arms around the man who murdered my daughter. I think forgiveness is possible, even for the worst among us. And I do believe we all need forgiveness, God Knows.”
