She is paralyzed from the waist down after the shooting. Today she posted an open letter to sue klebold a day before she time. She forgives her and anne marie special part of her recovery. Dear anne marie our prayers have been with you as we read about the terrible ordeal you and your family have experienced. Reporter sympathy is not something easily put in to words. When we read reports of your progress, we marvel at your resolve. Reporter yet these words have helped a wounded heart heal. With deepest humility, we apologize the role that our son dillon had. Reporter these words come from a handwritten card delivered to Anne Marie Hochhalter and her family as she recovered at craig hospital. A letter from sue and tom klebold. It was so genuine and filled with sorrow and compassion. Reporter that message stayed with her. The fact that she made an effort spoke volumes. Reporter it stayed with her through the recovery, the anger, and it helped her let go. Bitterness is like taking a poison pill and expecting the other person to die. Reporter hochhalter has only read the letter three times, once when she got it, again at the tenyear anniversary, and this week as klebold prepares to tell the world her story. She felt compelled to get a message to her. I dont have any ill will towards her, i forgive her. And she did reach out to me in 2004, but i wasnt ready. If she did reach out to me now i would be willing to talk to her only if she wants to. If i can help her by telling her that i forgive her, maybe thats one less person that she has to worry about if she even does worry about me. Reporter sue klebold wrote a book about her story. That is a cause close to hochhalter. Her mother who suffered from depression, she ended her life just months after the shooting sedlele person if you ever get to meet her and talk to her.
