It ends with this
{...}
So I will choose the hard way. I will try to forgive the Adkissons of the world who have been manipulated and conned into violence. I don’t think I’m quite ready yet to forgive the Coulters and the O’Reillys and the Malkins and the Limbaughs of this world just yet… but I will try to work on not hating them quite as much as I know they hate me. It’s a step. Maybe tomorrow I can do better.

And if a reminder was ever needed why I am and will always be a Unitarian, it is that during the candlelight service held in memory of those who died, a few of the children who had been performing in the cast of ‘Annie’ broke into song. They sang ‘Tomorrow’, in a heart-wrenching reminder that the sun will come out tomorrow.
Keep these folks in your prayers and look at what happened as a wake-up call to stand against hate and violence. There is too much good in the world to let the haters color our world with red.
Great quote. You might be interested in the letter I wrote to the boy who murdered my sister. It's about half way down the page, I guess.
