Giffords' husband willing to meet suspect's parents

Representative Gabrielle Gifford’s husband said he was willing to talk to the parents of the accused shooter, Jared Loughner. Her husband, Mark Kelly, didn’t blame the parents; he said he was a forgiving person and that the parents have to be hurting in this situation as much as anybody. Loughner’s parents said that they too were grieving for the people in the shooting. Giffords has gain consciousness and she smiled and even gave her husband a ten minute back rub. Last weekend doctors carried out 3 procedures that indicate she is recovering well; Kelly being the most hopeful.
I’m glad that Kelly is a forgiving person and that he doesn’t blame Loughner’s parents for what happened. I understand that even though the parents have not lost their son, they are grieving for him anyways because he is a different person because of the shooting. Loughner obviously had some mental issues and the parents shouldn’t be blamed for the shooting when they feel just as badly as everybody else. I really hope that Gabrielle can fully recover because she seems like a very giving person. It’s nice to hear that her husband is so hopeful. Her husband’s hope is probably what kept her alive in the first place.
