As I am asking for forgiveness some will forgive me, others will not. I know that I will die with a guilty conscience for I have done a terrible thing. I am asking for the parents of those sons, who were there on that day, I ask them for forgiveness from the bottom of my heart. // I am the mother of Christopher. He was the bread winner at home. Inside of you, you knew that you were going to kill your own brothers. How did you feel about that? // Mama I am still feeling guilty. // He says he was forced to do what he did and that he didn’t want to do it. But he was working for the system. He did it to his own brother like Cane did it to Abel. // We feel sorry for you. You said you were used by the system. And you were saving your own life. We can’t forgive you. This was my only brother whom you sold out. We can’t forgive you, you say this and you say that, you have more than one story. // I understand that Thapelo means ‘prayer.’ I hope you live up to your name. I understand you are the same age as Christopher. I forgive you although I know this will not bring my child back from the grave. It will serve no purpose not to forgive you. God will punish me for that. As the Bible says, we should forgive those who sin against us. // I’m willing to forgive you my friend, but speak the truth. I’m willing to forgive you. I’m really really willing.
