Hi Shadowbear, I am sorry about your father in law. But I am so glad that you are soo wise and God/Creator has helped you to have Love in your heart instead of hate. I wish everyone would seek this. I too have had love put into my heart - I did not always have this love in my heart until I asked God to help me. I feel really bad about the way things went for you in school and for others. I guess if you don't have the love in your heart then you don't really think about how you are hurting someone else's feelings nor do you care. I am soo glad that there are people that do CARE. I am sooo thankful that you are such a caring and loving and kind person. Shadowbear can I ask you a question? How did your wife feel about how her father was? Did she have hate in her heart or was she like you and learned to care? Did she have many brothers and sisters? Did you have relatives that went to that school that were like your father in law and was full of sadness? I think it helps for us to pray for those who have hate in their heart because they are sad and are hurting and they need our prayers and our love more than anybody. My prayers go out to anyone who is sad and hurt.
