A LETTER FROM TREYVON MARTIN

Along with millions out there, I too was outraged by the NOT GUILTY verdict of George Zimmerman.  I will not lie and pretend that the race factor hasn't bothered me because it definitely did but I had to let it go!! A dear friend of mine *I'll leave it as Shanay, wrote something yesterday that was touching and I hope you all find it in your hearts to not only read it, but to share and follow the instructions..as I believe this to be the gospel truth.

Dear World,
I know you are sad that I have gone on. Its the way I left that has hurt you. I see your hurting hearts. I see your tears. If you let me, I can show you the way to peace. I'm not perfect but I made it in. With that I can say, I forgive George Zimmerman. Now will you stop killing me. You're using my name to claim hate, to be angry and I am afraid for you. I was sleeping in peace but you keep calling my name. I know you want the truth. Truthfully, I just want you to release me. Use your energy to help my parents grieve my memory. Thank you for the many things you have done. I can say, I'm home now. Well done. Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Signed-Trayvon Benjamin Martin

I've decided to hang up my hoodie, end MY envolvement in the blackout and let him rest in peace.
