Long ago a 'casual' boyfriend of mine made a point of including his paraplegic cousin in some of our (non-sexual) adventures. Donnie might have made some poor decisions in his life, but he had a heart of gold. If I'd hung around Donnie longer might have fallen for him. It would have been a disaster, but he was a special guy. Didn't really appreciate him fully at the time, it was easier to focus on some of his other problems than those glimmers of his real character. I anonymously sent him some money years ago, not a lot, he was never good in that area, but maybe it turned up at the right time to solve a problem.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
