Mother of Amish Shooter Caring for Victim of Shooting
It is amazing to see in the midst of tragedy a transformation of lives. It would be so easy to be unforgiving and to live in a state of self pity and despair. We know that the Amish suffered great loss as their children were murder, but we tend to forget the shooter has a mother and father too. The shooter's mother and father are suffering with the loss of a son and the devastation and guilt of a child so lost that he took the life of innocents. Terri Roberts, the shooters mother, is transforming her tragedy into an inspiration to us. She is caring for a quadriplegic victim. It is very difficult for Terri to see the suffering her son has inflicted, but in her sorrow God is forging new bonds. In Terri we see how God is pulling her through this situation, and how a cycle of forgiveness and love can bring comfort to a catastrophic situation.
