Great article Holly. As I read this I thought about a friend of mine, who many years ago, had to forgive the son of a friend for drinking all his (Ian's) Grange Hermitage wine, thinking it was his father's.

His father had just died and this was his ultimate revenge. Bear in mind that Grange Hermitage is THE BEST wine, and boyond the reach of all of us.

Here's a little excerpt to put you in the picture.

“You know,” he said, “if I couldn’t let this go I was always going to be a prisoner in my own jail. Sure, it hurt, but I’ll get over it. This young fellow will grow up to realize what he did. Meantime, I’ve decided to be kind to myself. He’s not off the hook, but I am.”

It brought a tear to my eye. Would that many more of us could so determinedly forgive. And would that we could do so, with such a huge heart.
