This video is a must see for everyone because we all, at sometime in our lives, have to deal with the issue of forgiveness.

My Dad, Kiefer Harris

Kiefer and Carlene Harris

My Dad passed away 5 years ago of Alzheimer's.  I have many happy memories of my Father.  When I thought of him on the anniversary of his passing this past April, I had a feeling of gratitude that he taught me how to love life, and that he, along with my mother, taught me the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  For those teachings, I will be eternally grateful.
