A friend of mine posted the most wonderful story on Facebook about forgiveness. I’d like to share her story with you.
“Yesterday I decided that I wanted to reconnect with my step daughter. We have been estranged for a number of years. Today, I literally ran into her in a department store. I looked at her and said, ‘Hi Laurie.’ She looked stunned and pointed to the man behind her and said, ‘This is my husband,’ and looking at him said, ‘this is my step mom.’ Then at the same time we reached for each other, hugged and hugged for the longest time while talking between tears.”
My friend could have changed her mind at the last minute and walked the other way, but she didn’t. Instead, she made the most of the opportunity and now a loving relationship has been restored.

The first step in forgiveness is to let go of the anger or similar negative / hostile feelings. Without this there cannot be true forgiving.
Dear Girish, Thank you so much for your comment. You are so right. You have to let go of those negative/hostile feeling of there can be no true forgiveness. All the best, Ross
