Heres a little story for yall. A little over two years ago I was in a full car with all my best friends and we were changing lanes when a man that was drugged and drunk hit the right side of my car. We all got out of the car (luckily ok) and the drunk/high driver got out of his car stumbling begging me not to call the cops because he was high and drunk, had kids and didnt want to go to jail. I spared him from jail time when he said he would pay me for the damage. He told me to follow him to his house. He took us to his sisters apartment and then he took off, leaving his sister with the burden. I filed a police report with the Lowell Police Department and there was evidence of damage, cameras in nearby businesses that saw the accident but the cops never did anything. I did my own investigation. Talked to some people and I ended up getting the name of the guy that hit us, his work place and even his picture from some people that knew him. I gave the police department all that info and they pulled up his information and they realized the guy had 2 warrants. I checked with the cops several times after that but they never did anything. Never gave me any updates (Not surprised.) Today as I walked into UAMS Lowell Childrens Hospital I saw him there. He was with his child, lifting his daughter up in the air as she played with the toys provided by the hospital. A part of me was angry because this man had taken advantage of my good heart, but I know that Im always preaching people to forgive and forget and I should practice what I preach. I remember all those months I had to drive with a messed up car because my insurance did not cover the damage and I didnt have all the money to fix it. All those months where I thought about him and how he had gotten away with screwing over a good person. I couldve said something today. I couldve waited for him to get out of the hospital and cornered him outside. But what good does that do? God has blessed me with a new car already. I have learned from my mistakes. I thought about it and at that moment I forgave. I walked away and in my heart I wished him the best. We will all one day pay for every bad thing we do to someone in this world. All I can do is forgive, but I know God doesnt forget...
