My new hero: Michael Davis. Father of Claire the dead 17 year old shooting victim

This is a memorial to his daughter, to love, to humanity and to forgiveness. How was this man capable of pulling to the forefront so much of the good in us humans in a sea of hate and ignorance.
I don't easily lose it any more because I am almost immune to disaster and fatigued, in a slow decline that started in about the year 2000. But this touches my heart in a very deep and compassionate and grateful way.

Michael Davis is a much better human being than me. The most important thing in my life is my relationship with my two daughters. I don't know what I would do if someone hurt or killed them. I could not show the grace of this man though. My thoughts would be of anger, rage, and revenge.
