Forgiveness

Forgiveness (Short video)

What this video was about was that there was a man named Eric Smallridge who ended up being locked up in prison because he was found to be guilty of D.U.I's and the manslaughter of two innocent 20 year old girls names Megan and Lisa. This caused great pain for the families that they sent Eric to 20 years of prison. However, as time passed, Renee, Megan's mom, decided to forgive Eric for what he did and wrote him a letter saying that she have forgiven him. She also cut his prison time in half causing him to realize not only his mistake, but knowing that from there on out he must commit to make up for what he did by not doing it ever again. You may ask why Renee did such a thing, but in short, she wanted to heal, to heal from the heavy loss of her daughter and she knew that the only way to heal is to forgive. Once Eric, was released from prison he volunteered to speak in front of high schools where he explains to students the effects of drinking alcohol. Eventually Lisa's family decided to forgive and everything ended great and peaceful for everyone all due to the key concept of forgiveness demonstrated by Renee in this situation.
