About This Quote
I thank God today she found the courage in her heart to love me enough so that someday I could tell you that even a black ex-con from Angola that stabbed a man could maybe someday do some good in the world if he gets a chance. The truth is, I am not a hero, and I do not deserve praise for protecting an innocent girl from a violent attacker. It was simply my job as a police officer to protect her. The fact that I did it also makes me feel guilty about what I did.
It was wrong and it's something I'll have to live with for the rest of my life. But it didn't stop her from loving me and sticking by me through everything we've been through together, and she never once blamed me for what happened that night. She didn't run away scared or hate me, and she helped me turn my life around.
