"The highest form of magnanimity is forgiveness.-Bernie S. Siegel, Prescription For Living
Raised in an abusive home, a young woman felt bitterness toward her parents. But when diagnosed with breast cancer, she determined to love them in spite of the past.
Each morning as she left for work she'd tell her mother she loved her. Her mother never answered.
Then one day, after about three months, the daughter was late for work and rushed out of the house. Her mother hurried to the door. "You forgot something," she yelled. "What?" the young woman asked. "You forgot to say I love you." They embraced. They cried. They healed."
