*The reason I chose this video is that:
When I saw "Forgiving her son's killer' this title, I thought it was intersting. As you know, forgiving is so diffilcult to people. Besides murdering is so worst crime. However, this article says, one woman forgived her son's killer! It is unbelievable! So I really want to know about this woman and killer, I thought this article would be so amazing to me. so I chose this article.
