“I had a daughter who was 48 by a speeding car at the age of six by a speeding driver. He got a fine, a few months in 49 , and then was free, free to hug(拥抱) his two daughters. I only had one, and now I have to 50 until I get to heaven before I can hug her again. I have tried to 51 that man a thousand times, and I thought I had. Maybe I really did forgive (原谅) him. So pray (祈祷) for me, and be 52 when you drive again. My son is all I have been left with.”
The man was completely 53 and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove 54 , even a few miles 55 the speed limit, praying for forgiveness.
