2. The author of this article is Barbara La Porte.

3. He died at the Virgina Tech. shooting.

4. I got a little upset, I think that it was really hard for a mother to write about her son who died.

5. I think of what ifs after something bad has happen, but i think that what ifs don’t make a difference after the fact it happen all ready.

6. I think that  shes right know matter what people should forgive, because its not good to hold a grudge, even though someone hurt you in some way.

7. “Rather  true to forgiveness is the point at which you refuse to allow yourself to remain hostage to sorrow or grudges.” _ That made me stop and think to myself. How true this maybe, Its so hard to forgive someone who but you thew so much pain but holding a grudge is it worth it? I dont think so, holding a grudge wont change what happen, it wont make you feel better. You may think its a good pay back, but it wont help you or make the pain go away.

“My family is completely faith based and as such we are all on this journey of love and mercy together.”_ It makes me think how lucky I am to have a family to love and care  for me and always there for me  no matter what stupid thing i may do and that there there for me threw everything.

8. Things happen, and we should spend every moment happy with the ones you love because you never know what will happen the next day.
