And I was just like, it was so mind blowing to get this letter, you know, and it brought up old feelings.
Like I was, you know, the anger came back and I immediately thought about what have I preached in the world?
You know, this idea that redemption is real.
Second chances really do matter.
And so the universe, you know, creator, God, whatever you want to call it, was like, oh, so you believe in forgiveness and second chances.
We're here.
Let me give you your real test.
And this is going to be a test unlike anything that you've ever imagined.
And so he put this man right front and center in my life.
And I was the opportunity was there.
You know, I could be angry.
I can go back to that little boy who was hurt and I can hold on to all of that.
Or I could say, you know what, I forgive this person.
And so I sat down and started to write him a letter back.
And then I just stopped and I was like, you know, forgiveness doesn't require me to like extend my life to this person.
Like he's already caused harm in a way that, you know, you can't repair that harm, but I can forgive him and I can let that energy go and I can move on.
And I could think about who do I really want to write a letter to?
And that's when I wrote this letter to my mother because her and I have been on our own healing journey.
And what I really wrote about in a letter was this time that her and I got a chance to spend together.
and how I got a chance to learn the experiences that shaped her life as a young mother.
