Thoughts from Anne Lamot –
Apology is the end of our struggle with history.
The act by which we untangle from our past by accepting what is actually was.
Apologizing does not make us perfect, but shows our commitment to be honest about our imperfections, and steadfast in our efforts to be better.
Final quote from David:
I am sorry is a Statement
I won’t do it again is a promise
How do I make it up to you, is a responsibility
