They were soon close friends. They said something was obviously wrong with me - that I should hate the person who killed Deborah, not reach out to her. One relative told me I was disgracing my sister's memory, the way I was acting, and that she was probably rolling in her grave. Another made a public statement the day Karla was to be executed about how happy he and his family were to know that she would soon be dead. Karla herself was mystified by Ron's attitude toward her.
Forgiveness is one thing.
It's an expression of their hurt and pain. And I know people don't think I deserve forgiveness. It does not make our streets safer. It just makes more victims. Sure, I miss my sister.
