I read the saddest story on MSNBC. There was a story of an 18 year old boy graduating from high school that had AIDS. How did he get AIDS? As a young baby, his father actually injected him with infected blood.
You can read the whole story here http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31129553/.
The young man is an advocate for AIDS now and has since forgiven his father for his predetermined death. I have to say that this young man has a heart of gold because I don't think that I could be as forgiving as he has been.
This story really stole my heart. I am in awe about his courage.
Do you think you could forgive your parent?

This is truly a lesson that can be learned throughout a lifetime that forgiveness comes in every shape and form......Kudos to Brryan.

What an amazing young man. And what a story. Can't even fathom how a father could attempt to murder his child. And, no, I don't think I could forgive my dad for doing something like that to me. Makes me admire Brryan all the more.
