Chuck had all the right answers
It took me less than a week to realize that Chuck had perfect answers to all my questions. ‘”Why do I find forgiveness so irritating?” I asked him one afternoon. God knows whether this popped out of nowhere, or was part of whatever we’d been talking about. “Because it’s the ultimate act of passive aggression,” he answered. This might not have been the right answer for others, but it hit the nail on the head for me. I have more questions but he isn’t here to answer them so I forget what they are.
Yes. I love that he was that for you. Do you ask him questions in your head? And if so, does he answer? I talk to my grandmother, gone for 27 years. She still helps.
Rather than forgive, I just let time pass. There comes a time that I can be grateful for the outcome that comes out of some misfortune done by others, that seems to turn into something better. The need to forgive or be forgiven, sometimes isn’t necessary. The opportunity for gratitude come.
