The ability to forgive is one of the true great virtues in my opinion. I find it easier to forgive someone in my own mind, an entirely different case when I am face to face with them. I almost want them to feel bad, and to make sure they realize that they hurt me. This is NOT a good virtue on my part. I know this, but what can you do but react the way you always do.
This woman deserves a medal for being able to forgive this kid with such conviction. I am sure most of us would not condone 25 years in prison, but at least a few years. It was just really bad judgement on his part and it is mindboggling he would feel this is an acceptable thing to do to someone. the fact the idea even occured to him amazes me as well.
On a last note, it is sad in a way that something like that seems like such an amazing act to be done by someone. Acts of forgiveness should be common place not an odd occurance.
