[QUOTE="Star*, post: 299498, member: 4964"] I watched a bit on tv last night about interviewing some folks who had lost their loved ones in the crash. I remember the crash. Dude wasn't even born yet. The interesting thing to me was that some people who had lost a loved one have been able to move on and let go in their grieving process. A nice couple who lost their daughter were almost ambivilent about this man being allowed to die with his family. They said - they had forgiven him in their own way because they felt their daughter would have wanted them to move on and find peace. Then there was a woman who said I hope he burns in Hades. She was obviously still not over the grief and was very bitter, angry and distraught. The mere mention of this mans name made her tense up and just seethe. So as I'm watching this program I was thinking to myself about things in my own life that have happened and how I've dealt with them. Then I thought about how; If I were to be interviewed twenty years later which of the two examples I'd rather be for the world. The couple who had let go and found peace or the woman who had spent her time being miserable and bitter and wouldn't let go of the anger. Both families had lost a loved one. Neither's loss was greater or lesser than the other. Both families had a choice to go on with their lives and either be as happy as they could or waste their time being miserable and angry people. It really made me think again about my own life. So I hope that since there is no reversing this decison and returning this man to Scotland that maybe the world looks at this situation and the people TWENTY years later and it sends a message that there are horrible people in the world, and there are horrible things that happen to us and our families. Somtimes there is nothing we can do about it, but how we move on in our lives is up to us. Do we waste our time or do we make the best of it in honor of those who have left us behind? In the very least - he's not getting one over on the Almighty. [/QUOTE]
