The meditation by the compassionate
priest spoke of forgiving and, among
many other offenses, not forgetting
mistreatment by physicians. It struck
a cord for me and me for my dog. I
trust that the dog will forgive and for-
get but I will not forget while forgiv-
ing. I am free of the desire for ven-
geance knowing vengeance is the
Lord’s, but I have not forgotten and
so I say,
“I do forgive, but I don’t
forget you while you are on your way
and simply bid you adieu and
have a nice day.”
