Leah Goins, a woman who lost her mother, Pam Cook, more than 12 years to a drug-addled killing spree that started in Indiana and ended in Illinois. In June of this year, Leah thought it was time to write the man who participated in the murder of her mother on April 1, 1998. Leah was 15 years old and a high school freshman in Indiana when a group of men showed up at her mother’s home and shot her in the head on the front porch. Leah has forgiven Steve Hale years earlier but it has taken some time for her to write him and let him know that she forgives him.
I think it’s good for Mrs. Goins to forgive her mother’s murderer, it will give her a more peaceful life knowing that she made the right choice to forgive Mr. Hale and might be life changing for him to be a better person.
