FORGIVEN

We're at that time of year where the media reminds us of moments over the last year that scared us, touched us, enraged us, or just made us stop and think for minute.

One of those moments that has stayed with me is from Michael Jackson's public memorial, when his daughter, Paris, got up at the end of the memorial to tearfully say:

"I just wanted to say, ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And I just wanted to say, I love him so much.”

In a single, heartbreaking moment, his daughter rehabilitated his image and made him human again.

Even my cold, dead heart was moved.
