Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list ___36___ in our past that we felt ___37__ of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.

This seemed like a very ___38___ process, but there’ s always some ___39___soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then ___40___ that we find ways to ___41__ people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever __42__ my communication.

Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my __43__, I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff __44__ of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies and I decided to play a __45___ on him.

“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name __48__ on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still ___49__. Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few ___50___, I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused. “Yes.” “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”

His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you ___52__ your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it __53___ all these years. I want to thank you for calling me...for your sake.”
