Stardust seeks forgiveness from Scuba Baja Keith

Keith held a great love for me. I did not cheat on Keith and never would have but I accepted a phone number of an interested man and I kept it.  I also spoke about men in my past, particularly the man I had encountered prior to Keith.  I did these things knowing he adored me and knowing how much I needed him.  I do not understand myself.

I sabotaged my relationship with Keith.  He was my mate, my friend, the man I feel God intended me to be with. I miss him desperately and continue to mourn my loss.

Forgiveness from a man who has previously suffered from infidelities is a lot to ask but it is something I must feel.

Keith, if you ever view this posting please understand how deeply I regret hurting you.  I still love you and you've got to forgive me.  Please forgive me.  Stardust aka Judy

 I would like to forgive you who treated me so badly.

You did not raise your voice to me in anger, nor did you ever strike me. But there are many other ways to hurt a person.

I forgive you for not truly investing yourself in our relationship.

I forgive you for manipulating me and trying to exert power over me.

I forgive you for the lies you told to me.

I forgive you for not desiring me totally and lovingly.

I forgive you for the subtle insults and the ways in which you undervalued

me.

I can forgive you for these things BUT I will never let you do these things

to me again. I value my self too much to let you abuse me like this. And I

know you will not change unless you can take a good hard cold honest look at yourself. I doubt you have the desire or fortitude to do that but I hope

that will change in the future.

I wish you personal growth and discovery but above all else enduring

happiness and joy.

 To all the women who've been in my life:

I'm sorry, for being selfish, for being a jerk. I hurt you all in different ways I think. I just want, at this point to start over, to not be the way I have been. My narrowness, my jealousy, my shallowness, must all come to an end. I have been doing it wrong all my life, that's got to change...  Dan

Long ago, but I am sorry

Th.,

I'm sorry that I bothered you years ago. I didn't know that you were already dating M. at the time-- I had no bad feelings about her and would never have done anything to hurt her feelings. Although I was 20 at the time, I was confused,

stressed, and in a bad relationship that no one else should have been dragged into, even if it were only in my imagination. somehow with all the

craziness going on, I betrayed my own upbringing, morals, and ethics, and allowed a mild crush to become an annoyance to someone else. I barely

knew you but admired your intelligence and probably appearance too, though I no longer remember much about how you looked.

In the 15+ years since, life has gone in a much better direction -- and I'm the ethical, considerate person (also a deist, and happily so) who would never have brought trouble to your doorstep that way I did long ago. Very, very

sorry.

 12/9/04

 To My Family and Friends,

I'm sorry I'm such a disappointment and you don't even know it. I'm sorry I've lied to you. I'm sorry I've ruined your lives with my deceptions. I'm sorry I got too caught up in myself to live up to the dreams and hopes you had for me. I'm sorry I drank, I'm sorry I lashed out, and I'm sorry I hid myself from you, the ones who care about me and can help me. I'm sorry I wasted your love in my web of self-obsession and deceit.  Please forgive me.  B. D. F.

 Dear Shawn,

You mean the world to me. I cannot envision living the rest of my life

without you in it. I sincerely hope  you can find within yourself  the

power to forgive me for my lapse in judgment, for jumping to

conclusion, for breaking my promises.

I am at a loss at this time as to how I could possibly repair the damage

that I have done. I don't want to make any promises simply because you

most likely cannot trust me anymore. My heart is aching just thinking

about the decision you might come up with once you've thought things

through. Please believe me when I say that I so deeply regret what I have done,

this anguish will stay with me forever.

I love you   G.

11/28/04

 I know you don't believe a word I say but I am going to say this anyways. Please forgive me for hurting you and for taking advantage of you. I never meant to hurt you, I wish I would have known at the time that you were so angry. We have never had a real conversation. Two years later we find out the truth and for so long we have been fighting to solve the "problem", only to be solving the wrong thing. I am still here now because I know this is not what you really want and I am going to stay and going to fight until we resolve your hard feelings. Too many people take the easy road and quit! I will not stand down even if I am no longer here. You don't know what you want because you are not yet ready to confront your own truths. You cannot continue to bury what you feel. It is only going to hurt you in the long run. Every one that is close to you has hurt you. I am sorry that I have also done the same. You must learn to forgive, especially yourself. Please let all of the anger go, please forgive me and talk to me. Tell me how I have hurt you. I love you and as long as I live, I will always be by your side when you need me. You don't realize this yet.

11/19/04

Dear Margie. After many many years I am writing you an apology. I am writing you this day begging forgiveness. I hope you can forgive me.

 11/17/04

 Lord, I have shed lots of tears and my heart would hurt inside. This incident happened a long time ago. Lord I pray your love and guidance as struggle. Help me with your love and mercy This hurt has been there a long time, And I am trying to understand Forgiveness. If this works ,I will understand That truly all things are possible with God. Thanks

 Dear God, and those that have lost their lives in the Iraq War,

 God, I need to ask your forgiveness for I have sinned big this and I feel so foolish, as well. You see, I was one of those American's that fell to my knees in fear, due to the events that took place, just after 9/11. I was glued to the television set every night. Yes God, I did forget to pray rightly to you or Lord, rather I begun to pray (in all honesty) that we'd "get the enemies" - the big, bad, terrifying and yes evil Bin Laden. Yes Lord, I became enthawed in front of that "tube" every night, and could barely breathe as I awaited news from those that were "fair and balanced," for the gun-slinging, bloodshed to begin, as our tanks roared into Baghdad. And with each night and day it was all I could think of. My president became my leader, the one I looked to for "hope" and "wisdom," as he "must be the chosen one" we heard and read about as kids and teenagers... I mean, the media was sending the message... churches were "backing it up." It had to be so... and of went out military, mightier that all - but alone. I was also for our president, like a faithful follower, I allowed him and his cabinet to lead me down the road of freedom, but as the months went I slowly begun to realize that it was our own being killed, night after night. And as the re-election debates began it was something in this leaders eyes, and the way he could not finish a sentence that made me ponder differently.

Yes Lord, it was during these debates that I finally awoke from this terrible nightmare I had been in. It was as if I had been brainwashed, placed in a trance. But I have found my back to you Lord, and I beg of you to please, please forgive me fore I forgot myself in this mad shuffle we call freedom down here. I'd also like to extend my deepest sympathy to you, oh lord, as it pains me to see my fellow American's act as they do, seething for violence, and not acting in a Christ-like manner, rather just the opposite. If it hurts me this mush, it must really hurt you, so for that I again as you to forgive me for my fellow Americans. I'll take their brunt, because I too was caught up in the madness of our leader whom I know now is just as evil, if not more then the Bin Ladens of the world. If you could forgive me, then maybe I can forgive myself because right now, I'm feeling really ashamed to be a "follower" of the "wrong flock" and fearing more for my lack of civil rights, god-given freedoms and liberties, then I do those that live across the ocean from me.

So with that, I ask that you forgive me lord, and while your at it - could you ask all of the men and women from America and other countries, that lost their lives fighting in Iraq to forgive me, and my fellow Americans, too? 

Maybe if I had stopped and thought for just a moment before reacting so angrily, and giving too much empowerment to the one I thought was on your mission, I'd not be feeling so lousy right now. And the biggest forgiveness I need right now Lord, is for you to help me help others to see the wrong road we're taking here in America. Maybe if just one person in every state of our once wonderful united states reads this and feels the same way, each of us could spread the word. It's going to be hard, but I believe that once we forgive ourselves and admit we made a tremendous mistake, maybe then we can start anew and get back to the way our country once was - "liberty, and justice for all."

S.L. & D.L.-

I want to offer my sincerest deepest apologies for any tension, hurt or conflict I may have caused. My intent was never to hurt anyone. Unfortunately for all of us the situation has gotten way out of hand, and my heart and mind are telling me to resolve it. More than anything, our Lord is telling me and tells everyone in the Holy Bible that an angry heart is useless. Holding a grudge and carrying around this pain, anger and frustration is getting me no where, and is hurting our family. It is hard to forget the past, but I am more than willing to try. Please accept me for today and tomorrow, and even though it is difficult, put the past behind us. Life is too short for us not to forgive. You or I could die tomorrow and regret our behavior. Then we would ask ourselves; is it worth it? Was it really worth it to carry around that pain and anger? My answer is NO. Please let's move forward for the happiness of all around us, but more importantly for ourselves. May God Bless you and your family always. Even if you are not ready to forgive and/or forget, I will pray everyday for your safety and well being, and hopefully someday you will be able to tell me you accept my apology.  -SLF

 First God please forgive me of my sins, and help me to steer away from temptations that will lead me in the sinful nature we all possess.

 Dearest Bernie, my husband, please forgive me of all my indiscretions.  Particularly these that inflict you with the most pain.  Forgive me for not always showing you the respect you deserve and loving you in a way that you can truly see.

 To my sons, you are so very precious to me.  Please forgive me for the things you do not understand.  I love you unconditionally as I know you love me also. 

 To all the ones I've hurt, please understand and forgive that God does not make anyone of us perfect.  He works to mold and shape us into what He wants for us but it sometimes takes us many times of trial and error to really see His path.

 There are some I would like to share by name but can't just yet.  For those of you that I have shared moments with, please forgive me for not being strong enough to resist the temptations and forgive me for any hurt that I may have cause you.  God Bless!!!

Moma T,  -  I apologize that I cheated on you. You deserve better than that. I am sorry and it will never happen again. Somehow I will make it up to you. Please come back. bob

I need to forgive myself and let go of the anger I feel for my stepdaughter. She is only 14 and we don't even talk any more, we pass in the hall like strangers. My anger is really at my husband, her father, for not making her follow any rules and letting her stay away every weekend. I've directed all my anger at her and have been intent on making her life miserable, when I need to let go and realize her dad is'nt going to change. I'm raising a 12 year old boy in the same house and he has rules and chores. She doesn’t.  I haven’t been able to separate the fact that she is just doing what she is allowed to do, as any teen would in this situation. Because there are no rules for her ,she just runs.I need to stop being angry at her ,when my husband is to blame. I've tried stepping up to the plate and taking over, but that creates anger, resentment, (your not my mom) and an unhealthy environment  for everyone. I want to forgive her for hating me and myself for acting like a spoiled stubborn child. I feel I'm going straight to hell if I don’t resolve this issue.     Wicked stepmom

Luis,  I’m sorry about what happened between us and our friendship. I wish we had left it at friendship and allowed it to grow as it would have done so, and wonderfully at that, I’m sure. I have apologized all that I can and I my words are sincere. I understand that you can’t, for whatever reason/s, contact me again. And it’s O.K. I won’t hold it against you. I will, however, wish you the best my heart can wish for you in everything that you do in this beautiful life. You are truly amazing. You are an Artist. You are the Writer of your story. Always do your best to make your story shine brilliantly so that when others read it they will feel inspired and blessed to have come across it. Use your integrity through your word and actions. Read that book I gave you, The Four Agreements, it resonates truth deep within that is hard to deny. Forgive me someday for the mistakes me made together. Forgive me someday for the mistakes I made all on my own. Have a beautiful life. Wake up each day and feel happy, no matter what your circumstances. Life is short and fragile and we must find the beauty in it even when things look bleak, and as you know, they will look bleak from time to time, but soon enough their bleakness will fade and after time you will find a feeling of strength come over you and you will know then that you are okay. And you will always be okay. You are an Artist. You are Amazing. Sincerely,  Angie

I wish I could turn back time.  It's taken me too long, way too long, to finally see how my behavior has affected others, and I wish so much that a close friend or family would have found a way to speak to me about how I was acting years ago!  I see it now, but learned it the hard way.  I've had a tough time letting go of everyday situations, relationships, work stress, etc., and spilled my guts to whoever was around.  Who would want to be around that constantly? I've lashed out in anger to people, and they didn't deserve my frustrations to be pushed on them in that way. I'm sure that I've kept people from wanting to bring up certain normal topics to me, for fear I'd spend an hour telling every detail. I've annoyed others, and turned away perfectly good friends along the way. I'm sure I've been perceived as someone who can't "get over it", or "let it go".  I'm disappointed of my past behavior, and am having a painful, eye-opening experience.  Lord, I thank you for allowing me to see this now, and help me as I learn from my mistakes and stop feeling so guilty.  I want to forgive myself, stop dwelling on how many relationships I've ruined, and focus on how to better myself and the future! I want to learn how to handle my problems in a healthier way without burning friendships, and start to see a positive change from this whole experience. It's got to get better.  Alex

 Dear Ann,  I am so sorry that I hurt you. I know that we both did the best that we cold, and I regret the way my anger found its way to harsh and hurtful words. Please accept my apology for that, and for being so slow to understand that you and I are not meant for each other. I will always love you, and thank you so much for the gift you brought to me, for the opportunity to understand myself better, and to experience such deep love. I know that my words hurt you, even though you minimize their impact. Rather than saying that it was nothing, please give me a sign that you accept my sincere apology. Your forgiveness means so much to me. Please contact me someday, if only to let me know your forgiveness.

Love, from the bottom of my heart,  Maureen

To my God, my beautiful wife, my children, my parents

I am the most horrible sinner. I am selfish, mean, hurtful, and a liar. Starting with my God. Please forgive me Lord for all those years of foolishness when I denied your existence to myself and even to others. What a fool. I thank and praise you for keeping after me and sending me signs. I love you God. I love you Jesus. To my Wife. I cheated on you very early in our marriage, I was infatuated with a woman at work, we had sex many times for a period of over a year. I thought I was in love with her, I was wrong, I love you so much and  cannot bear the fact that I did this, I am so sorry. The affair stopped soon after I found out that we were going to have our first child and I left that job. You are the light of my life, the most wonderful, honest and truly good person I know. You are the mother of our children, our beautiful, darling children. I know would probably forgive me this, or maybe not. I have chosen not to tell you because I do not want to hurt you and destroy the family we have built. The thought of being without you and the kids keeps this silent. I have been tormented by this for years and do not know how to forgive myself. I am also sorry for the names I have called you and the horrible things I have said in anger when we have fought. I am sorry that some times our children have heard these things, or gotten in the middle of it. I am sorry to you, my three wonderful kids, you are my life and I love you so much. I know I have said I am sorry before, but I am now fully aware that it does not matter who is to blame for our fights, or who is right, it is just simply wrong to treat any person, especially the most important people in my life as I have treated you at times. To my Mom and Dad. How I must have hurt you in my life with the horrible fights we had when I was a teenager. I lied to you, and stole money from you for drugs. Now that I have children and realize the power of the love we have for them, I realize how my words must have devastated you. Thanks for sticking it out. I love you both. To my brother and sister, I am so sorry for putting you through the fights and anger that used to be in our house when I was a teenage delinquent. I am sorry for the fact that we played games when we were very young that were in hindsight sexually inappropriate. I love you both an am proud of what you have become, and of the families you have made. To my friends, that life as an adult has caused me to lose touch with, I think of you with love often. To Lisa, whom I had the affair with. You are a wonderful person who did not deserve to have gotten involved with a selfish liar like me, I hope you have attained the peace and happiness you deserve in the many years since we last parted. I wanted to share these horrible acts with some one. It may be the cowardly way of confessing my sins, but it is the way I have chosen. Thanks for listening. Please forgive me.

To Dougie on Clarence Avenue in Lakewood, OH

You and I were only about 11 or 12 years old; neighborhood kids in Lakewood Ohio. You were trying to play with me and I didn't want to play. You kind of taunted me, a little bit rowdy, and would not quit. You were a cute little blond boy, thin, with green eyes. I had just found out your father died recently, and in my mean heart (I was never a mean person) the only way I could get you to quit and leave me alone was what I said, "I am GLAD your father died!" Well I am in my late 50's; a mother, grandmother, nurse, and still have my dad who is going to be 90 this year. He is a good man and still drives his car. He looks after my mother who has early Alzheimer's. After I was an adult I realized and have felt so terrible ever since, that it was the most horrible thing to say to you. You liked me. You were just trying to play or get my attention. I am sorry. When I said it so meanly to you, I remember how your eyes changed. They quit laughing and you looked back so suddenly and seriously. You did go away. You did leave me alone, then. I am so sorry. I am going to my grave with regret that I could have been so selfish and mean. I have prayed that God will clear that from your heart. Even that young, a person does know better. I wish I could take it back. I am so very very sorry, Dougie. I am sorry. You did not deserve that. I know you will never in a million years read this, but it had to be said outward to the universe....Linda D.

8/17/04

Even though we both have openly asked your forgiveness and you have refused it.  I again, humbly ask for you to forgive us.  I was very busy and did not have a chance to openly discuss the selling of the tickets to L and for some reason at the moment when you asked, he did not work out in his mind the logistics of selling the tickets.  We humbly ask you again to forgive us as this was a mistake of judgment.  I did not lie, but I did not have a chance to tell L my prior commitment to your wife about the tickets.  Please find it in your heart to forgive me

 8/15/04

To my friend, Peace!

I'm so sorry for being not true to you. i know that ever since you have been so honest and true to me and i wasn't. and i can't blame you to get angry for finding out the truth. but this time, i'm really being honest...let's start again, on a more honest and deeper ground. i know what i did in the past will never be erased but it could be filled with love and honesty.  your true friend 

 8/13/04

Paolo - I had to say that I have many mistakes and short comings sorry for my unnecessary act. I completely lost in that time I don't no what to do because I am over familiar to you. paolo forgive me. I am older thatn so I must be mature enough to think what I will say and do. I wish that you could read my letter. I don't know how to say good bye but thank you for everything you share to me.

8/4/04

My Dearest Anthony:   I don't know what tomorrow or the next day will bring.  But I do know that if you are no longer a part of my life I am terrified of not knowing how I will ever forgive myself.  You have taught me so much in the past year about how to learn, live, love and trust.  Yet today I am faced with starting my life over without you.  I cannot yet fathom it.  I am sorry from the depths of my soul and only hope that within yourself you can find a way to forgive me.   LLP

8/3/04

K,

I have given you three years of my life and you have betrayed me. You hurt me more than any words can describe. You have crushed my heart and broke it into a thousand pieces and left it for me to put back together. You have been unfaithful to me though I gave you my full heart and my full trust. You have hurt me so deeply that the pain in my heart is present in my eyes. There are times when I don't know if I can go on.

 I want you to know that I forgive you because we must choose to forgive in spite of our feelings. The Bible says that even though God is grieved and angered by our sin, He chooses to forgive (Eph. 4:32). And we must do the same with each other. Regardless of our feelings, we must choose to forgive whatever may have been said or done to offend us. What He desires is that we forgive sins committed against us the way He forgives our much greater sins against Him. 

 Please know that I will always Love You.  Tina

I want to ask forgiveness from my mother law, and I do not really know why she hates me so much-but I know it has to do something with my husband-I want her to forgive me for whatever it is, I can't ask for forgiveness for things he lied about re: me-that would not make sense, but I do ask for forgiveness for being harsh, protective, angry, insecure, judging and for my personal flaws which also include that I have been married before-If I had the choice, I would have only married  her son, and had HER grandchildren and been family with them. I love her. I love her son, my husband-and the rest of the family. I have a past that scares me to love any one. I have virtually no family-It is one thing I want and need. So do my children. I ask her to forgive me, for My husbands, ex-wife, tricking me into talking to her about our problems, I have tried to fix everything the ex wife caused, and protect my husband from the effects-but now he is gone, I a m alone, I am pregnant  with multiples, I went into premature labor - alone, my husband didn't show up even tho he was told. I almost called her, my mothernlaw, but I could not deal with more rejection again. It hurts so badly.  WHY cant she see God wants her to forgive me, for what ever wrongs she thinks I did, or sees, that I don't-I dont even mind a confrontation if it is a positive step. She told my husband that since i didn't have a mom she would be my mom too. PLEASE forgive me mom-n law for not telling you how much that meant to me!! It meant soo much! Now I have no one. What happened to Forgiveness teachings in your church? Don't they teach you to forgive? Why do you feel I am so horrible? I didn't cause RM problems, he had problems before me-I just thought that working through them would help-maybe i was wrong-I didn't mean to be.  PLEASE FORGIVE ME, God allow her to forgive me, I need family, please work in her heart and constantly work in mine, allowing me to forgive her for allthe hurts and words. AMEm     

Lisa

I'm sorry I didn't understand, that maybe I continue not to understand.

I'm sorry that I couldn't adjust to my strong sure friend becoming weak and

scared and seemingly full of excuses. I'm sorry I can't seem to see past my own pain at losing a friend. I'm sorry we are not in contact any more. I'm sorry that I have no idea how to fix any of this. I'm sorry you are hurting. I am sorry I am hurting. I am sorry. TBird

7/22/04

Forgive me love me and know i love you. Colin

To my beautiful girl,
Lately, I've been facing a dilemma between my proposal of marrying you and some members of my family members.
You were my fiancée and we were planning to marry, and some members of my family, especially my brother, started to oppose our proposal. I’ll love you the way that I’ve always loved you. I am scared of promise that has gone unfulfilled out of my control, please forgive me love.
I am so horribly ashamed of the negative outcome of our proposal and sinful anger you might have against me. I want to apologize to you, the most amazing girl, I have ever met in my life. I completely and totally love you, and I’ve hurt you but it was out of my control. I know this is the worst of all disappointments you’ve experience in your life, and so do I. I hope you’ll understand that I didn’t betray your trust. I expect you to forgive me for wasting your time and that is really hard to deal with. I just want you to know how sorry I am for everything that has happened to you because of me and that I will always love you. I pray that you will find someone else who’s better and who can make you happier and comfort you by relieving you from your heart break. Sweetie I am sorry from the bottom of my heart. Please forgive me.
God knows how sorry I am for making such a thing in hurting you. I am in need of your forgiveness for the things I have done out of my control. I love you more than anything, I love you dearly, and I miss you more than words can describe. I am really sorry for everything that I put you through. But it is a family issue because my brother is married to your sister; they also say that you are older than me which I’ve never said to you before. I’ve said to them no, we were all born in the same year, 1973. I’ve insisted that the age doesn’t matter, but marriage is a matter of interest. I’ve realised that the proposal won’t work out. I wasn’t calling you not because I’ve agreed what they have said, but it was because I couldn’t tell what has been going on and I felt guilty to call you without telling you those things which I couldn’t do until you asked me yourself.
I want to say to you that I am sorry for everything has happened to you because of me… I was scared to make the commitment and I am sorry I did not tell you about what was going on from my family side… I am sorry for all of that… you’ve never hurt me since we know each other... I’ve realized that I’ve hurt you too much and just want you to forgive from the bottom of your hurt… I am sorry.
I love you. I thank you for the time we had and thank you for loving me. Please forgive me for mental and verbal disappointments you’ve suffered from because of me. I admire your character and the fact that you continued to try to love me no matter what. I have learned so much from you. I have always loved you, liked you, respected you, admired you and looked up to you. I am so sorry that in the end you did not believe that because of the terrible things happen to break up our proposal. I was so scared to lose you and now I have anyway. I hope that one day you can sincerely forgive me for what has happened to you. Please know that I will always love and appreciate you, and that you'll always have a place in my heart.
I appreciate everything you have done for me. I owe you everything I have to you. Not one minute of the day goes by I don't think about you and what we have lost. I am very sorry.
I wish you all the best of luck in your entire life. I hope you’ll get a husband as soon as possible who can give you a relief and comfort, and who can make you forget about this worst experience of ours. It’s very difficult for me to lose you, but I’ve been desperately disappointed by my family. I hope you’ll understand my situation. You are my Angel. God Bless you.

Dear Melissa B.H.,
I am sorry that I was a little freaky, but I would never do anything to hurt you.
I came to your class considering majoring in it. But now when I look back I realise I barely understood a word of it. For one thing, in case no one told you this, I was only 13, but for the most part I just couldn't relate to the theories much. What I did gain was that I began to believe then what I believe now: that psychology is not understandable to a person who has just never loved enough to have experienced the things you talk about. There are just certain things you need to know before you take any class on human nature. You can memorise the theories and pass the course, which I did, but I think we all know that no amount of experimental evidence, theory, or what we like to call objectivity is really going to make us better people helpers, or, really, all we need to be is better people in general. The real knowledge, the real understanding, are things we really have to learn subjectively. When you think about it, psychology and therapy all come down to one question: How would you feel? Empathy is really the only rule. And I don't believe it's possible to understand anyone's feelings, or even your own, unless you have at least one person who you deeply care about, a relationship you want to preserve, someone you can cry for, someone to have conflicts with. I listened to you talking about all your problems...and what I really wanted to say was...I see that you are hurting. I want to listen to what you have to say and try to help you. I wanted to know you as a person, and maybe I could have the love I wanted, because I loved you and I still do.
Just remember that I'm still here, and if you need me I am still your friend.
Yours truly,
Sarah
P.S. If you just look
Past your scars
You will see
It's not that far
Don't close your mind
Let God inside
Begin to breathe
Start to fly
Start to fly

Forgiveness comes so slowly for me. I guess because I first must wrestle
with and recognise who and why I need to apologize. My apology is two
fold 1) I apologize to myself for not having the capacity to allow the
fullness of who I am shine. I will get there one day but I am not there
yet and that's ok. I am not able to let go of the love I have for you
and that makes me feel weak. I forgive myself for not being patient with
myself. 2) I want to apologize to M. for being angry at her for being
less than perfect, not emotionally free and open with me and for not
being enough in my eyes at times. I love you! I miss you!

July 13, 2004

To My Dad.....

I am sorry, on this nite that you have gone to God, that I have let you down so much.

July 12, 2004

Hello...I'm in a real situation of forgiveness, except the person that needs
to be forgiven is myself and I can't do it!! I had an affair and I CANNOT
forgive myself, the guilt over it is literally killing me!!

July 1, 2004

I have been verbally abusive to you, my wife, for years and there is no real excuse for it. I am the one who is wrong, and need to get my act together and work harder at self control. You are the most precious,jewel in my life. You deserve more and better than I have given you. BJ, those are your initials, please forgive my yelling at you and not allowing you to be heard. I love you and I have made a huge mistake. Please forgive me for hurting you and showing a lack of respect for you. You are the light in my Life. DEJ

To Joe:
I want you to know how much you mean to me and how much I care and love you.
I want to tell I'm sorry for:  behaving like a child when I don't get my way, not listening when you speak to me, interpreting things my way and not looking at things from your point of view also, all those nasty, stinging words that I've said just to hurt you, my downward spiral that led to brief, adulterous affairs with other
men, the horrible way I walked out on you, all the awful things I did after
we split up, the hate that sometimes in my voice, which stems from hating
myself because I've hurt you in unimaginable ways. I am truly sorry.
I am slowly forgiving myself for all these mistakes and ask that you
reconsider our lives together. Will you? Can you?    G.

June 25, 2004

Phyllis,
I have been wanting to tell you how sorry I am. I have tried to reach
you but cannot get an address or phone number, or email. I know you are
liveing in Tualitin, but that is all. Sometimes in life we do stupid
things and I am very sorry for hurting you, and for hurting your family
through you. I did not mean to hurt anyone. I can only say that what I
did was selfish and the devil did not make me do it - I am the one
responsible for the choices I made. I can try to make excuses, but
there are none. All I can hope is that you will forgive me. CW

June 24, 2004

I did something very wrong and I was caught last nite. I stole from my
neighbor a parcel and kept it in my apartment to look at. I have been
suffereing from extreme abandonment and lonliness. I haven't been myself
for at least 9 months. I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo embarrassed as to my actions and also frightened of the future. I don't know if my
neighbor is going to press charges on me or have the landlord evict me now.
My heart cannot stop palpitating and I am feeling like the only thing I can
do is pray. I have gone on line to search for a way to be able to deal with
my disgusting behaviour. I knew I was doing something wrong when I did it,
but continued. I could have been in jail as of last nite but due to the
fact that my neighbor didn't tell the police to take me away, I was allowed
to stay at home.
Home doesn't feel like mine anymore. I know that the building knows what I
did because the girl who I stole from will get satisfaction telling
everyone. Also she wants to warn everyone in my building. How ugly of a
situation I am in now. I can't move because I don't have money and I just
started to somehow get my life in order. I am suffering from embarrassment,
the fact that I will never be forgiven from her, and that I can't forgive
myself.
I am writing to you with hope that you might be able to suggest a website
for me to read which is good for my heart. I want to explode right now with
tears and can't. One because I am at work, and two because I know that it
really won't do anything other than give me puffy eyes.
I called a Rabbi for forgiveness and to say a blessing over me but he hasn't
returned my phone call yet. I would accept a blessing from any sect right
now. I don't think that I will ever feel good about myself because the
victim will never forgive me. Help me please. Fondly, lisa

June 17, 2004

I'm sorry I'm not you're best friend.
I'm sorry for what I do.
I'm sorry that I speak.
I'm sorry for who I am.
I'm sorry I can't be what you want.
I'm sorry for what will come.
I'm sorry that the sun doesn't shine.
I'm sorry for the air I breathe.
I'm sorry that I made a choice.
I'm sorry for my life.
I'm sorry I'm just different than you.
I'm sorry I can't.
I'm sorry I won't.
-I'm sorry.

June 5, 2004
To Jim,
I write here to ask your forgiveness for all the trouble I have caused.
I don't understand what happened to us, and pray each day that I find the
strength to let it go, but because we both still love each other, I hang
on.
May God lead you and help you find your way and know that I will always
love you, even after all the sad things you have done to me.
I pray we may be rejoined together again one day.
Karen

Abah,
Please intercede with God Himself, to forgive my many sins; especially
those, to be polite, which involved love them and leave them.

 May 12, 2004

I am sorry that I allowed my fatigue and frustration to build and then chose
to go look at nude pictures on the internet and masturbate. This is not how
I want to live my life. I need to find better ways to take care of myself. I
am truly sorry to God, and to anyone who might be hurt by my decision not to
stay pure tonight. To God I pray for forgiveness and cleansing of this
stain.

May 9, 2004

To my sons:
I'm sorry I'm not the kind of mom you deserve, the kind of mom I long to be. Thank you for forgiving me, and loving me anyway.
Your mom.

 I apologize to you Jason for not loving you unconditionally. I apologize if
I've made your life more difficult, I never intended to hurt you in any way,
I only want lt to love you the way I was able to for the first 5 years of our
relationship. My own insecurities convinced me that you would leave me one
day anyway. I was so fearful for that day that i sent you away and now I wish I
had the oppurtunity to tell you how sorry I am that we had to end so badly.
I forgive you for the hurt that you're drinking caused me I regret I
couldn't have better understood how you were feeling though I did try. I'm sorry
you weren't able to talk to me about your feelings. I wish we could have
worked it out, wish we didn't have to part on such bad terms. You've asked me not to call but I want to, I think about you every day and every night. I respect
you wishes and try not to think about calling you. I don't hate you and I
feel so bad when I think that you are hating me. I pray everyday that we can be
friends, still have each other in our lives. I wish you much sucess in all
your future plans. I hope you can reach a point where some time in the future
you can call me. I'll always love you Honey, Trisha

April 28, 2003

I wanted to say to mike that I am sorry for all the lies I told him … I was scared to make the commitment and I am sorry I did not tell you about Sarah… I thought we would be a burden on your life instead of you wanting and looking forward to us… I am sorry for all of that… you hurt me too, and even though you felt I deserved to have you hurt me with luann I did not.. Irealized before that I hurt you and just wanted you to forgive me and believe me not hurt me back in a sort of revenge on me…  I am sorry. 

3/24/03

M,

I love you. I thank you for the time we had. Please forgive me for physically and verbally abusing you and for all of my fear and anger. I am so sorry that I was not strong in the right ways, and that I was not spiritually or emotionally ready for you. Please forgive me for the way I reacted to things, and for my inability to let go of all of my fears and hurt from the past. I admire your character and the fact that you continued to try to love me no matter what. I have learned so much from you, and although I cannot make it up to you right now, I will be making it up to you on an energy level as I learn to give the quality of love to someone, that you gave to me. I have always loved you, liked you, respected you, admired you and looked up to you. I am so sorry that in the end you did not believe that because of the terrible things I said to you out of anger. I was so frustrated because you were the one I was waiting for and I couldn't control what was happening and I felt like I was watching my dream slip away. I loved you so much and I was scared I didn't deserve you--these emotions were driving a lot of my behavior. I was so scared to lose you and now I have anyways. I want to tell you this in person but I'm scared you would reject me and that you don't need or love me anymore. I didn't want you to go that day. It is my greatest wish that I could undo the hurtful parts of our relationship, and restore us to the place on the floor where we me, and when our love was pure spirit, beauty and natural love. I didn't want you to stay if deep in your heart you really wanted to go. I have felt for months that you've wanted to go, and I'm sorry for hanging on. I hope that one day you can sincerely forgive me for my mistakes. Please know that I will always love and appreciate you, and that you'll always have a place in my heart. God Bless you. You were my Angel.

 I need to be forgiven for not being strong enough to forgive my teenage daughter when she was being a teen age daughter and pushing me beyond my limits. I broke and sent her away out of fear that I would do her harm. She did things and said things that broke my heart, and I could not find the way to forgiveness through my anger and fear. Our relationship is estranged at best, and I miss her terribly.

 I need forgiveness for not being a better parent. I just didn't know that a child could break you heart in a way that no one else could ever do.

 To my daughter, please forgive me. I love you.

3/19/03

i'll surely be sent to the deepest depths of hell. i am only 20 and i am the guiltiest feeling person in the world. i've stolen from every one i know. money. my mother. i've treated her so so badly. calling her names. stealing her money.. even her bank card. i've cheated on every boyfriend i've ever had. all i care about is them caring for me. i'll never live all this down.  guilty

3/14/03

Dear Mark,

I'm sorry for the anger and resentment I carried and express throughout our marriage. Rather than lifting you up, I brought you down. I'm sorry for all the mistakes in our relationship that I made, in hurt, anger, jealousy, resentment, revenge and sadness. All these things I did that seem to have destroyed our marriage. I pray I can be given another chance to be your wife and make up to you. I pray we can reconcile, please forgive me. Remember the love we have and know that I am working on myself and trying to let go.   A.S.

3/13/03

LAP...those are your initials.  If you recognize them know that I want to ask for forgiveness for having a sexual relationship with you  which later on  you and I both regretted. Even though you have never talked about it,I regret it and I apologize that it happened.  I now know that you were uncomfortable with what happened.  It also went against your beliefs .  I have forgiven myself; I hope you can forgive me. sincerely Jose. 

3/12/03

I need to apologize to my son for having him go through and see me go through the effects of drug use. Although I don't 'look' strung out or is always out in the streets, I truly believes he knows now and I want to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for having him around it when he was little baby and neglecting him at times because of it. He is such a loving person who doesn't have a bad bone in him and loves me. I'm sorry from mom.   Marcia

2/28/03

Hello, my name is Jessica, I really want to send my apology to my ex-boyfriend James.  James, I love you dearly, and I miss you more then words can describe.  I am really sorry for everything that I put you through.  I really don't want to throw away a four and a half year relationship?  But I guess we will figure it out when we will talk next week.  I love you, baby!

2/23/03

I forgive myself for being so full of fear, doubts and insecurities that I have, at times, slipped away into alcoholic oblivion completely neglecting my loved ones, myself and the work that i believe my Creator has put me here to do. I forgive my government/the media for seemingly infusing the American people with trigger fingered fear.  And I pray to God for the ability to forgive those who would and who have taken the lives of so many beautiful people.  Hate is Love turned inside out and Fear is Love's polar opposite.  Here is to The Love Revolution.  Thank you Michael Moore.   Steve P.

 I cheated on my wonderful wife. I love her more than anything, and I did not think of the consequences. She does not know, and I don't want to tell her. I know she would forgive me, but I also know it would hurt her
tremendously (something I don't think I could do!). I am a moral and ethical man, and thought I would not be capable of such a thing. I was wrong. I will ask
for God's forgiveness, I only hope I can forgive myself.

 12/15/02

Dear Jen,   It has been over 2 years since I have seen you but I think about what happened everyday. I am sorry for betraying your trust when you gave it to me. I was confused before and was very immature. Since then I have changed a lot and although you might never see it, I do believe that I have. I look back on the things I did to you and to our relationship in shame. I cheated on you. I can say it because its something that I did and I have fessed up to it. Our common friends know about it and the one who I am in love with now knows as well. I don't want you to think that since we are miles apart and time has gone by that what I did was forgotten. I am sure you haven't, but I hope one day I will be given the chance to be forgiven. You were the one who I honestly thought I would spend the rest of my life with and then I shattered it. I am sorry. I know you will take no comfort in knowing that by hurting you I have changed back into the person you asked me to be a long time ago. I hop! e one day I will see you again so I can prove it to you.  Larry

Dear young Black woman,

I don't know your name, but I owe you an apology. I was 19, bald, angry, lesbian feminist and (I thought) anti-racist (though white).  You were promoting your church on the University of Toronto campus.  It was around 1993-4.  I asked if it was just a concert or if you were "evangelizing" or something like that.  You said, it's a concert but "it's about God" (now these words so touch me).  I unleashed my rage on you.  I am so ashamed but I said to you - how can you defend this religion when it enslaved you - "the only reason you are a Christian is because white racist Christians went to Africa and enslaved your ancestors..".  I was really attacking and trying to undermine your faith.  I was angry (partly) because I was lesbian and felt judged by the church - but I was also just "rage looking for a target".  So many times since then I've thought about you (I have now embraced my own Christian roots) and have worried that I may have undermined your faith, something that was important, maybe critical to you.  I ask God's forgiveness, and your own.  I am so sorry.  May Jesus bless your path.  love and blessings,  Lynda

 11/14/02

I am sorry that i searched the internet to find out about my ex-partner.  at the time i just thought i wanted to find out how she was doing and that she was okay, but i found a university assignment of hers and it really felt like snooping.  i am extremely sorry about this intrusion because i am so sorry about how i hurt her when we were together.  i loved her so much, and i took advantage of her, and i know it caused a lot of damage.  and i will always care about her and be sorry for what i did.  be blessed, MB.  lynda

 11/8/02

 Dear friend,

I am in need of your forgiveness for the things I have done.  I am an ever changing man, trying to make himself better because of your love. I will be taking one day at a time. One step forward in the dark, always looking to the past for some light of guidance. Using past mistakes as a road map to finding happiness, hoping that one day my love will bring you back to me. With all that Love that I have - Your friend, Josh.

11/4/02

 Dear Jeff,

God knows how sorry I am for making such a mistake in hurting you.  But I am sorry.  I know I've broken your heart, but if you are willing, please give me the chance to help me mend it.  I cannot take back the past, but I can do better in the future.  Please forgive me.  I cannot live without you.  I need you so much.  I know I should have thought about this before, but I didn't and I'm sorry.  With all of my heart I am sorry.  I will do anything and everything it takes for your forgiveness.  Please.  Please believe me.  I really do love you. Love, Cherie

10/15/02

Dear David,

Please forgive me for upsetting you. I never intended to forgive you. You make my days brighter and you are light up my life.  Marjorie

10/4//02

When we first met, I had the courage to introduce myself to a very beautiful woman whom I thought could be the missing light in my heart. My days and evenings were filled with the thoughts and dreams of your presence, and I thanked God for the privilege of knowing your name and being up close to your wondeful smile. Alas, my heart broke when I accidentally found out about you and a "special" person in your life. Since then, you had noticed I had been avoiding you and my words, even my hellos, were silenced without explanations. How can I be wrong about how I feel about you when all this time, crossing paths with you should have not happened. I chose silence and eventually distanced myself. For this, I ask for your understanding. For being an interruption to your life filled with happiness, I ask for your forgiveness. I gained a heart when I met you, Anna, but most importantly, I hope my sincere apology will be enough to strive for your friendship.

10/2/02

I am sorry for what i did to hurt my family. I truly let them down. I know that they will be forever angry with me. I cant blame them. I hope in time they can forgive me, and that i can forgive myself as well.

10/2/02

 I am sorry from the bottom of my heart for hurting you Marc. I haven't loved anyone like I have loved you. I took for granted the love that you so freely gave. All you wanted in return was time spent with me and I played this terrible game. Please forgive me for not appreciating you. I would do anything to have you back in my life. I promise I will no longer cater to my ex-husbands hurting emotions. I divorced him for many reasons, one being that I don't love him anymore. He hurt me so many times in words and in actions, yet I felt so obligated, still after the divorce to be there while he was hurting. Please forgive me. I need you oin my life. I just can't imagine it without you in it. Come back...please. I love you, I love you, I love you. Joyce

December 4, 2001

Please forgive me for I have made everything chaos. Peter

My g/f lied to me too many times. I don't want to say what she did, because then i would be getting whoever that is gonna read this involved. All that i want to say is that i forgive her. thanx.....  Wil S.

November 20, 2001

Dear Mom,
I'm so sorry to have thought those awful things about you.  You have been
a great and wonderful mother and for me to even think you could've
hurt me as a child makes me feel really guilty.  It is just this fear
I am experiencing right now sometimes causes such cognitive distortion.
Anyways, I love a tonne and am sorry for any stress I might have caused.
Love mnr

November 20, 2001

I am sorry for lying and cheating on the girl that gave me her full heart with full trust, a tender and precious gift whose value I did not recognize. I am sorry that I slept with prostitutes at risk of getting diseases that may have damaged her health and put her life in danger. I am sorry that I tried to cover up my lies and deceptions because I was too afraid to face up to the consequesnces. I am sorry for the pain I have caused. I am sorry for manipulating the situation in order to gain control. My fear was that I would be deserted. That I would be abandoned if I shared my truth. Now I am on an island. Alone. May someone find my message in a bottle. The bottle being me. I desire to shine in the truth once again. I am so so sorry. 

November 18, 2001

I am so sorry for cheating on you.  I neglected to think about how much it might hurt you.  I was selfish and I hope that someday you can forgive me. 

November 16, 2001

I lied to my ex boyfriend and I really did not think before I did it.  He broke up with me but he really did not want to.  I told him I am so sorry but he is still very mad.  I know he needs time to heal but I can't really even talk to him because his parents said we need to wait for awhile.  I am so miserable and do't know what to do.  I want to be with him and take back my lie.  What should i do?

October 29, 2001

Erin I am sorry for hurting you.  Sorry for not appreciating you, failing to see what you meant to me.  Sorry for destroying our relationship, for not being mature, for not being able to be what I truly am.  I am sorry.  Whether it be good or bad our lives are woven together, with the steel of eternity...we shall meet again my friend.  Adieu. Jason

 
October 6, 2001

I made a terrible mistake on leaving my 19 yr. old immature daughter in NY state while her father and I moved to Washington state. We left her homeless. And she is now living with my grown son and his family and he is very angry. I am so sorry right thru the whole of my being. I can hardly breath. I don't know what to do.  peggy

September 22, 2001

Even since I was a little girl I have felt deeply like I wasn't good enough and that I would be punished or abandoned.  This has led me to invest all my energies into being someone that people would be impressed by or couldn't live without.  I've hidden behind powerful or impressive jobs, all sorts of personas so much that I'm right now finding it hard to understand who I really am.  All those things I did, the big career I never truly in my heart wanted to be there.  I've let people influence me such as my parents and all the while I've blamed everyone around me (deep deep down) for my life not being right.  I feel almost like I've been living on hold all this time never really taking responsibility for who I am or for my own decisions.  I have felt so much resentment towards others and i am aware now that I have inadvertently created some real nightmare situations in my life to get what I want.  Whatever or whoever did something that made me believe I wasn't good enough whether in this or another lifetime I long to forgive you I long to let go.  I don't want to make messes in my life anymore - I just want to love those around me.  To all the people I've ever caused pain or problems to I am SORRY please forgive me.  I am really determined to change my negative patterns but to anyone out there doing the same I'd say isn't it hard? You need so much focus and determination.  rosie

September 12, 2001

I apologize for stringing her along for 6 years. Not telling the truth ignoring her when she was loving to me. Staying out all night and never calling like I should. For picking fights with her and not fighting fair. For having other women call my cell phone and page me whenever. For taking her life and toying with it and no longer treating her to anything. For being angry at her and jealous of her at the same time. For leaving her and miving out of our home and not calling her when she was alone. For disregarding her feelings and ignoring the fact that she went to church therapy and read information to help us on every level. I apologize for hurting her so deeply that the pain in her eyes if ever present no matter how she tries to hide it. For times when she wanted my help and i knew it and i procrastinated and stayed away on purpose. For critizing her family friends and co-workers. For saying mean and hurtful things to get her angry. Never giving her a straight answer no matter how much she begged. For being cold and uncaring and keeping secrets. For the affair with Reina and never being able to get over the resentment I felt for her finding out. For taking trips with friends and excluding her because i knew she really wanted to be there. For not being able to step up to the plate and be the man she trusted me to be. For wasting 6 years of her life and knowing that as smart and good looking that she is she would have found someone better than me. For breaking up with her over a question she asked me and telling her I was seeing someone else because I wanted to hurt her and make he cry. I hope she will forgive me and accept my apology. I feared intimacy and closeness and feared she would leave me so I sabotaged every attempt she made to have a normal and regular life with me. I know it will all come back to me.

August 27, 2001

I cheated on my husband.  We've had problems....I got frustrated.  I feel horrible about it.  I just want forgiveness.  I am so sorry.  I am so sad.  We have been married for almost 15 years.  I got bored with our relationship too, but excuses don't mean a thing.  What I did was wrong.  I need to be forgiven.  I asked God for forgiveness (yet, again) and I'm sure he's forgiven me...I need to forgive myself.  Thank heavens my husband didn't find out about the infidelity.  I just want to bury myself and cry. 

August 26, 2001

I want to apologize to my ex-husband for never saying I am sorry. I always blamed our living arrangements, financial, sex life on him and never felt that I had a part in it. If he made me angry about something I would not speak to him for days, I apologize for that.  I would not be intimate with him for weeks, months at a time because I was still holding grudges, I apologize for that too. I felt misunderstood a lot of times but my actions still were wrong. I wish I could change things but I can't. I just want to say that our failed marriage was part of my fault too and I apologize for that.  Sad thing is that I love my ex-husband not in a lustful way but as a person.  I am glad that he has remarried.  He always apologized to me but I did not believe it was sincere so I did not receive it.  I am doing this because I would like to remarry and I know forgiveness and reconciliation is part of marriage and I do not want to bring any negative baggage to a new marriage and I am seeking out ways so I can learn how not to hold grudges.  I forgive my ex-husband, myself and God.   L.

August 14, 2001

I forgive myself for getting angry at people with money who choose not to spend enough time to see the incredible merit in the project that we are working on.  I forgive myself for each dollar I haven't earned that would help deliver Peru.  I forgive all the women who blew me off for whatever reason.  I forgive my mother for anything she did out of anger.  She's Italian, and we all know how Italian's have short tempers -- DAMMIT!  I forgive my brother for allowing others to take advantage of him.  He has a heart of gold, and mine is surrounded with titanium, thus, we work together, and I look out for him.  I could go on...  I forgive my customers for paying late.  Finally, I forgive you for judging me while reading this.  I love you too.  Tony

August 3, 2001

I am asking for forgiveness for hurting someone because of thoughts of infidelity.

July 23, 2001

Lately, I have been wondering about forgiveness. I want to apologize to everyone I have hurt or harmed. I know I have done some pretty terrible things. Thank You God for helping me find this web site! It feels great to get this off my chest; it is like a huge weight being taken off of me! I am so sorry to all the people I have made fun of, lied to, talked about behind their backs. I know how much it would hurt if someone did that to me and I am sorry. Please forgive me~!!! I love you guys!!!  Kristen

Lately, I've been facing a dilemma. Should I confront people that I have ridiculed-- but behind their back? I asked God for a sign, and I think I got it. So I would like to apologize, and I know that because I am human, I will leave a lot of names out. If I have sinned you in any way, I am sorry and humbly ask your forgiveness. For everyone I have ever lied to, I regret it. For everyone I have ever made fun of-whether you knew it or not-  I realized how cruel that is. I especially want to extend my apologies to Don Farmer, Julie Skadsem, Britney Gore (I am sooo sorry I lied to you about ASFA!!!), Mrs. Knott, cheerleaders, Ms. Wicks, Chris, my parents, and Ryan from West Blvd.  I am so thankful for a God that gives infinite chances!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And please, if anyone reads this and it pertains to you, or you at least think it does, let God know. He'll get the message through to me. It will help ease my mind and my conscience. Thank you, and God bless everyone, everywhere!!
