The simple word "forgive" is hard to say sometimes.
Our hearts may want to forgive but the memory lingers.
It does not change what happens in the past.
Sometimes it causes us to stumble in the future.
Forgiveness is earned and not simply given.
The damage has to be repaired.
Sometimes words are not enough to repair what damage has been done.
Simple "I'm Sorry's" are not enough to sooth the hurts or dry the tears.
At some point in time forgiveness may be able to be given.
At that point one hopes to have learned a life's lesson.
Hopefully one can come to an understanding and start over.
When someone can finally "forgive"
