I talked with my son on the phone last night. He works in 'law enforcement' and is fairly new to his career. He said that they discovered a man who had attempted to end his own life. They managed to untie him, and while his co worker called urgently for assistance my son gave first aid.

He said the man asked for forgiveness for his past, my son said it wasn't up to him to forgive for his choices, it was between the man and his higher power. My son held the man's hand, peace came over him, and he passed away. His colleague said he couldn't have done what my son did. My son said in that moment it didn't matter what the man had done, it mattered that he passed with someone giving him comfort, looking into his eyes with compassion and seeing a man, rather than a criminal.
