To the person(s) responsible

This is a letter to all those responsible for the disappearance of my son, John Manahane.

My question to you people is why? Why did you people have to do this to my son? Did you give John his life when he was born into this world? The answer to this question is a big no! God did. So to all of you people responsible for the great pain that my son John suffered and the pain that my family and I are suffering still, I want you all to read this carefully and understand it clearly. God and only God can give and take away life. Not you people. Not anybody. God knows who you are. The authorities too know who you people are. I too know who you people are. So to all of you, mark my word, it is just a matter of time before the full weight of justice is upon you all. You can run but you can’t hide. So why continue living in constant fear and in constant stated of guilt? Why? Scared to face the truth? Read this carefully and understand it clearly. The truth will unshackle the fear and the guilty conscience that you people are living in. So why don’t you all do the most sensible and most logical thing to do that any human being(s) will do when he or she or they are faced with the same unfortunate situation or predicament. Admit your guilt and confess your sins to God. Do penance and amend your lives and pray that God will one day grant you people the great gift of everlasting life. But until you all face the truth and confront the fear and the guilty conscience that you people are living in, with same bravery that you people had when you inflicted great pain on my son John, you people will never find peace and happiness in your lives. You will forever be living in constant fear and you will all be living with that guilty conscience for the rest of your lives, because John’s spirit will always be in front of you day in and day out.

So with this note, I want you all to know that one day you will all stand in front of God on Judgment Day to answer to him as to why you people took away that divine gift—John’s life—when only God has the right, the authority and the right reasons to do.

And the most important thing that my son John, my family, and I want to say to you all is we forgive you all.

Dear God, please have mercy on them for they did not know what they did, and also because they do not know, nobody taught them the Ten Commandments. And one of these very important commandments is “Thou shall not kill.”
