Mary Johnson Analysis

322 Words2 Pages
Would you forgive someone who killed your loved one? For many people, this is a very difficult thing to do. Believe it or not, someone did this. Her name is Mary Johnson. Oshea Israel killed Johnson 's son. She miraculously forgave him! But, she didn 't stop there. Johnson helped Israel adjust back into society after he was released from jail! This is my real-life example of mercy in everyday life and we should follow Johnson’s example. This story teaches that we need mercy today because if we fail to forgive, someone can have depression for a long time and that forgiveness can solve conflicts positively. Mary Johnson’s son, 20-year-old Laramium Byrd, was shot by 16-year-old Oshea Israel in the head after getting in an argument with him.
