En los primeros días después de los atentados, era casi imposible llamar a Nueva York. Aunque intenté comunicarme en repetidas ocasiones, era obvio que yo iba a tener que esperar para saber de esos familiares, si es que finalmente se comunicaban conmigo.
In the first few days after the attacks, it was near impossible to call into New York City. Though I repeatedly tried to get through, it became obvious that we would have to wait to hear from those family members—if they eventually reached out.
I can forgive in the sense of intentionally striving to fend off the natural sentiments of anger and resentment that arise as a result of being wronged. In so, I surrender my “right” to be angry with the aspiration that my resignation of personal vindication would be a tangible example of the type of forgiveness people can receive by turning to God through Christ.
