Redemption

As my life has grown increasingly peaceful, an old memory popped up, of a time when I pulled a “bait and switch” scheme on a friend. A double-cross.

Scrolling through Facebook one day, this friend’s image came up. I tracked her down, wrote a note of apology, and asked for her forgiveness.

Yesterday I found her response that she has no recollection of any wrong I did to her. The person I most hurt, you see, was me.

My friend’s kindness flooded over me, and I am free.

You write it: What is your experience with redemption?
