    "Yes," the surgeon said. "She said, 'Forgive him'"
    "Forgive him?" my father asked.
    "I think she was referring to the drunk driver who killed her."

    My grandmother's last act on earth was a call for forgiveness, love and tolerance.
    She wanted us to forgive Gerald, the dumb-ass Spokane Indian alcoholic who ran her over and killed her.
    I think My Dad wanted to go find Gerald and beat him to death.

    I think I would have helped him, too.
    But my grandmother wanted us to forgive her murderer.
    Even dead, she was a better person than us.”
