Mary Ann Jackson-Baker Shattered Heart

Annotation

"How do you forgive the unthinkable? How do you begin to wrap your mind around closure to the deep-rooted memory of such a devastating incident?""I worked my fingers to the bone to give my son a future, but that boy didn't have a chance in the world. It wasn't Lima that killed him, but I still hate being there now. Christians are suppose to be able to forgive, but I can't let it go. I have searched the depths of my soul for some shred of forgiveness to extend in his direction, but God has not granted me that graceForgiveness is not about letting injustice reign. It means walking bravely into the future with every scar and callous you've incurred along the way.""My prayer is to one day forgive the murderer of my only child because with God all things are possible."
