When my heart was touched with love and compassion, I no longer pictured the violent murder of my grandmother. I pictured how she lived and what a beautiful person she was.

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.080
Forgiveness has many powers, I mean,

2
00:00:02.120 --> 00:00:06.400
The one that really touched
me the most the night

3
00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:11.519
that I was touched with it was
the healing power of forgiveness.

4
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:13.640
Because for a year and a half

5
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:14.880
whenever I thought about Nana,

6
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.600
I envisioned her butchered
on the dining room floor

7
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:19.920
the dining room where our family
went every year for Christmas,

8
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:21.760
thanksgiving, Easter.

9
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:27.160
And to try to think about her,
it just was very very painful.

10
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:29.640
autopsy and it was
brought out in court

11
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.960
that not only was she stabbed 33
times with a twelve inch butcher knife

12
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.079
but they had a section of the
carpet that was underneath her body

13
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:38.759
in the courtroom that day and showed

14
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:41.079
how that carpet had been
shredded by the knife.

15
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.280
But when my heart was touched
with that love and compassion,

16
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.079
I knew I'd no longer picture Nana

17
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:48.759
butchered on the dining room,
but I'd picture her

18
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.079
how she lived, what she stood for,

19
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:54.240
what she believed in, just
a beautiful wonderful person she was.

20
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:59.280
And it was just something
very special for me.
