I don't know too many people who would be this forgiving, but one woman has done exactly that!
Two years after her 13-year-old daughter was shot and killed inside a school bus, Lourdes' mother, Ady Guzman-DeJesus faced her daughter's killer, Jordyn Howe, in court.
Video footage below shows Ady walking up to the boy and - hugging him.
Lourdes' shooting was deemed an accident, after Jordyn decided to take his stepfather's gun to school to show his friends, but it's incredibly difficult to imagine how a mother could hug someone who had killed their child, whether it was intentional or not.
Not only did Guzman-DeJesus hug Howe, she also agreed with him serving a shorter sentence.
Wondering why? She saw an opportunity to give a teenager with his whole life infront of him another chance. A change her daughter would never have.
