How this woman, is so very, courageous, to FACE one of the perpetrators who’d BEHEADED her son, to find out where his son’s, death, this is, the adverse effect, left over from the, wars, and the son was an independent reporter, he wasn’t even a soldier, fighting in the war! Innocents who still get killed by these, wars of, ideologies, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The terrorist group IS in 2014, publicized the beheading of the American independent reporter, James Foley, the image can’t be erased out of the minds who’d watched the, footage. And, most people probably can’t imagine, how Foley’s mother, Diane watched her son go and chase his own dreams, and bore witness to how he was, murdered so brutally. Recently, Diane published a book, describing the process of her turning her pains and trials of losing her own son, into mercy and forgiveness, including how she worked up the courage, to meet the primary suspect of her son’s murder from IS, and asked about where her son’s, body was.
During Thanksgiving of 2012, Foley was kidnapped by IS. on August 19, 2014, Diana was notified by someone, sobbing on the other end of the line, and, several minutes later, her and her family learned of Foley’s public beheading by IS. In an orange jumpsuit, Foley was on his, knees, an executioner with his face covered, dressed in black, beheaded, him, and the footage went viral on the internet.
Toward how his son was murdered, not knowing where his body was, Diana had set up Foley’s funeral, and, placed all of his belongings in her office in the clinic where she worked, the place became a shrine for her son, with Foley’s photos, and awards. Following, there were the supporters who’d contacted and privately message Diane on FB, sharing the actions of Foley with her, which led Diane to discover the sides of her son she never, knew.
Many years later, other than feeling the loss, the pains of their son, the family also felt anguish over the whole, situation, not just toward the terrorists who’d murdered her son, but also how the U.S. government didn’t do anything.
A primary suspect of Foley’s murder, Kotey was arrested later, and, as a part of his plea deal, he’d agreed to meet the family of the man he’d, murdered, that was, an arrangement that’s not, ordinary or of the norm, but Diane was more than glad to meet up with the man who’d, had a hand in murdering her, son.
A mother’s cause is seen here, to ask to meet one of the man who’d, MURDERED her son, to find out where his body is, to finally lay her son to rest, to get the closure her and her family needed, because she wanted to lay her son to rest, that was why she was, willing to, go and meet up with the men who’d, murdered her child. This takes, enormous, amount of, courage to do, I mean, can you imagine, going to meet someone who’d, murdered your child, and NOT try and kill the person? Imagine how the woman, must’ve, worked through her loss, her anger of how her son was murdered so, brutally, to be able to do this.
