A Very Touching Letter.
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE LETTER....VERY MOVING.
Nancy Reagan's Letter of Forgiveness to John Hinckley:
We could all learn so much from this elegant and gracious lady.
You might recall that John Hinckley was a seriously deranged young man who
shot
President Reagan in the early 1980's. Hinckley was absolutely obsessed
with movie
star Jodie Foster, and in his twisted mind, loved Jodie to the point that
to make
himself well known to her, he attempted to assassinate President Reagan.
There is speculation Hinckley may soon be released as having been
rehabilitated.
Consequently, you will appreciate the following letter from Nancy Reagan
to John
Hinckley :
To: John Hinckley
From: Mrs. Nancy Reagan
My family and I wanted to drop you a short note to tell you how
pleased we are
with the great strides you are making in your recovery.
In our country's spirit of understanding and forgiveness, we want you
to know
that we bear no grudge against you for shooting President Reagan.
We are fully aware that mental stress and pain could have driven you
to such an
act of desperation.
We're confident that you will soon make a complete recovery and return
to your
family to join the world again as a healthy and productive man.
Best wishes,
Nancy Reagan & Family
P.S. While you have been incarcerated, Barack Obama has been banging
Jodie Foster
like a screen door in a tornado. You might want to look into that.
