Drop the stone before the dawn
The day is ending, and the silence of the room brings back the face of the one who never said they were sorry. You are holding a weight that was never meant to be yours to carry.
There was a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off — before the apology, before the speech, before any promise of change — he ran. He did not wait for the words to make the love real.
Forgiveness is not saying what happened was okay. It is refusing to let the past chain your future.
The light does not need their confession to set you free. It only needs your willingness to drop the stone.
You are not waiting for them to change. You are choosing to stop bleeding.
