THE WALL - Thank you for visiting Forgiveness Is The Way
We are always happy to hear from you. Please feel free to leave your comments here. Tell us your forgiveness story or share your thoughts about our website.
Thank you I came across your website on a billboard while in the Boston area, I am from NH. My son and I were in a head on collusion in 2005 he almost died. I have carried resentment in my heart for years but after reading your story I am letting go and letting God…I also wrote my dad an email and apologized for saying some hurtful things as we have been feuding for a few months now. Thank you and God bless you and your daughter. Kelly
I love what you are doing. I hope your message of forgiveness will reach millions. The world today is so full of anger and hate.
I pray that God will continue to use you and your vision to save others.

I saw the billboard for this website in Neponset and I was happy to see it. I’m having difficulty forgiving my mom and dad for various issues I have with the way I was raised and the way they handled certain situations when I was growing up. Furthermore, I feel much of the treatment I received from my siblings growing up was ruthless. I am a Christian and I do pray regularly that God will help me forgive them. Thanks for you website.
Thank you for inspiring others to move forward via forgiveness. I, too, have seen a billboard (one on Route 1 in Dedham, MA), and, out of curiousity, have looked at your website. My pastor read Kai’s story to our congregation a number of years ago, and, as then, I am again moved to tears in reading it once more today. For me, forgiveness is where we mortals reach into the heart of heaven and meet the Savior, who, on the cross, says “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
I am writing a speech on forgiveness for my Toastmasters group and am truly inspired by this story. God bless.

Forgiveness is something that I struggle with and that I pray to our Father every night to grant me with the strength to forgive. There have been many people in my life that has hurt me and while I believe that no ones sole purpose in life is to hurt someone else the fact of the matter is that I was left bruised and hurt. I have carried the hurt around with me for years. And each time I get hurt I just add the pain to the bag with the rest of the pain. Yet your billboard and message has had me thinking that it is time to LET GO, and forgive. Forgiving is the not only the Christian thing to do yet it also is healthy.
kai, what a blessing of inspiration to all of us “ADULTS”. may the lord Jesus Christ bless you your whole life. it was amazing to me to be driving home from my work today on the mcgrath highway coming from cambridge heading into somerville, to look up at this GIGANTIC billboard that read FORGIVENESS. i was like WOW, what is that. then i saw the website address at the bottom. i thought this cant be just about forgiveness, this has to be some form of new wave advertisement. how refreshing it is that it was just what the message read, a powerful but pleasing reminder to all of us to keep forgiveness in our hearts. thank you.
It took me three encounters with your billboard on McGrath to steer me to your site. The final time I passed the billboard it was late and I was cranky. I was in the car conversing with my boyfriend and after I mumbled, “Forgiveness is the way” (diverting our conversation) while passing your sign as he confirmed, “It is” and kept on with the usual thread. My heart thumped fiercely when hearing his comment. I knew in that moment the man I was with was “for real” and that I could trust him completely. I heard what sounded like my own semi-mockery of the statement and I felt queasy. I realize that the hardest thing for me to forgive is others who have innocence, who are gentle. I do’t trust it. It’s a terrible admission on my part. I was abused growing up (in a very religious family) and then raped by a neighbor with my best friend in the room, who did nothing about it. From there on out I felt like an alien, innocent children mocked and laughed at me, and didn’t want to know me…they called me a weirdo and tested me…they did well in school, had dreams. I had none. Because of my family’s religious beliefs I was able to forgive the abuser/rapist but it never occurred to me that my hatred and jealousy of innocent people has been a perpetual killer of my spirit. I got into a lot of trouble in the years that followed this and the only others I could bond with were hardened youth who were on violent tracks themselves. I’d like to let this go. It’s not easy. Thank you and bless you for your public presence.
I saw your billboard on the highway in Worcester, MA. I love it. Thank you for reminding me that I have been forgiven by Christ and that I need to forgive. It is so hard sometimes, but I know I am called by God to do it. I needed your reminder. Thank you! May your ministry be blessed. Well done.
I saw your the billboard in Worcester Sunday night and decided to investigate. I am looking for an answer. I know that I need to forgive in order to move on. I had heard of Kai’s story before I saw the bill board and this website. I am ashamed that I have been unable to forgive transgressions far less serious than Kai’s. I consider myself to be a Christian but am sinning and living a lie due to my unforegiveness. God Bless you for having a true heart for the Lord. He already has blessed you.
Ann Marie, I forgave the man who shot my daughter for one reason only, I believed that she would live and not die if I forgave that night. What I learned in time was that the choice I made started to produce an atmosphere of healing, where so many people thought I was crazy, I began to see the manifestation of love growing in my heart. Neither anger, hate nor bitterness could consume me; the choice to Forgive came with Power. Forgiveness is yours Ann-Marie! You have the ability to receive right NOW. Won’t you Forgive today?
God Bless You. When I first saw your billboard on McGrath Highway, I thought it was some scam or a Jehovah’s Witness ad. Curious, I went to your website and was refreshed and delighted to learn about your story. You are an inspiration. I am embarrassed by my initial cynicism but I will forgive myself as I forgive others. I wish you the very best life has to offer and look forward to following your lead.
I hope everyone can embrace this message. I believe Forgiveness is essential to living life to its fullest. I wish you and your family the best.
I drive past your billboard on 93 twice a week. I am so thankful that your family is able to continue to convey the powerful message that you forgave you daughter’s attacker. I am profoundly grateful for your reminder to forgive. It has strengthened my resolve to find a way to forgive myself. A truly amazing reminder during this Lenten season and always.
Thank you for this website. I am learning to forgive. I pass your billboard 4 times a week on my commute to college. i have learnt to forgive myself, i blamed myself for everything that i do wrong or fail.Thank you for the stories posted on this site.
thank you for this amazing work you are doing. really, wow, i think you rock, helping us all learn about forgiveness . . . i have issues of forgiveness in my own life, and seeing this inspires me to really try to work on them for REAL. thank you.
If you are interested in an easy, fast way to practice advanced forgiveness I suggest you pick up a copy of “The Disappearance of the Universe” by Gary Renard (published by Hay House) An hour or so with this book will show you how to automatically forgive anything that upsets you – great or small.
Keep up the great work Kai, you are a light in the darkness TO SHOW THAT FORGIVENESS IS THE WAY!
God Bless, LOVE YOU FAMILY
I saw your billboard on the way to work in Fall River, MA. Thank You for helping me to start my day with the idea of forgiveness in my thoughts. I believe that this notion can change the world.
Hi, came here thru someone else’s website, but immediately fell intrigued. You’re doing great and good work. Bless you and your family!
I found your site through someone elses facebook page. I have a 3 year old daughter myself. I can feel how strong you must have been by forgiving. But it, your decision, also must have brought some sort of light into your life. It might have been the light of God or Source or whatever we call It. Or the light of true love. Your work and your messege is very moving and important.
May this light of yours reaches the farest corner of the world!
