Description For my grandfather I never met (who never wanted to meet me). He shot himself in the head just last year, in a small town in Texas. No one found his body for weeks. He did it because he felt overwhelmingly remorseful for being such a selfish man.

I forgive him now.


Yellow rose of Texas, confederate rifles. Many of my ancestors served in the confederacy.

Brave thing to say. Β It is easy to hate but forgiveness takes real courage. Β

You are beautiful and tough. But you have shown your human side by forgiving your grandfather. That is best of all.

Thank you. It took me a long time to forgive him. The worst he did to me was refusing to meet me, but he did a million worse things to my mom and her siblings, and my mom is the best woman in the world. That's what I couldn't forgive him for.
