Open Letter of Apology to the Gale Family

Dear Gale Family,

This is a letter that if far too late but I realize that no matter how difficult this letter is to write it will be a much harder one to receive. I want to tell you how deeply sorry I am for taking Paul’s live. I understand that I not only robbed Paul of his life but I also robbed him from you and permanently damaged the lives for all of you and for all of Paul’s friends as well. I am ashamed and sickened by what I have done, it was a selfish and disgusting act. My selfishness, my cruelty, and my carelessness have caused more pain, more anguish, and more indignation than I can ever repair.

I offer this apology to you with the hopes of bringing some degree of closure or peace for you. Even though I know I can not fix what I have done I want you to know that I take responsibility for it and I put blame on no one else other than myself. I only wish I can change places with Paul as his life would have contributed to society greatly as compared to mine. I didn’t know Paul but I know that he is a much better man than I could ever be. I know this letter is much too little and too late, but I want you to know how much I deeply regret my actions. I’m truly sorry for what I have done and for all of the suffering that I have caused you.

Most Sincerely,
Gregory
