Man, that judge has something in his soul we all could use a little of.

[@eddie8306]

Was having a really really bad day until I went down a Steve Hartman rabbit hole. Thank you for all of these on the road special stories.

Yes, I was feeling the same today!!

I desperately needed this today. With the events of Texas and in my city of Tulsa….I needed this. ♥️

This lady and this young man gave me tears....she is a dear heart. You are not your blood. You are your own values. What a gift this boy is. May you have a great life young man.

I hope u and your dad and child grow strong and with great love and value.

[@lindalou6808]

Wow! The woman’s whose son died is a true Christian. She is truly living the faith.

[@amyreynolds3619]

Forgiveness isn't a Christian thing. It's a human thing. I'm Jewish and Christian teachings are based on our teachings. Jesus was a brown skinned FORMER Jew as was John the Baptist who baptized him. Re-direction is key to making sure that one never goes back to jail. Incarceration not re-direction is the key missing from our current criminal system.

[@DanielDenoted]

Steve deserves a hour long show and I won't stop til CBS gives it to him

Man, the story about that kid in the band makes peeling onions a walk in the park.

[@tipsysmichigander6483]

Not a single story here about a kid in a band... Are you slow?

[@mariuskuhrau761]

@@tipsysmichigander6483 Damm, are you an idiot for making such a terrible comment? Watch the documentary again and you will see the "kid in the band", it was his father that robbed the old lady at the graveyard. 😠

[@plumsmom8043]

​@@tipsysmichigander6483there was too, and way to miss the point of Steve's stories... Kindness. The young man apologized and gave $250 his father may have stolen to the older woman. She in turn gave it back for his band trip.

[@kathe9662]

The boy who apologized for his dad had me in tears.

[@clarkkathleenhusband6045]

I wish kids knew kids this or understood we try so hard. Thank you so much for doing that for your mommy. Speechless.

I’m smiling under my mask and wiping away tears as each story unfolds. My heart is full. Thank you, Steve.

[@tipsysmichigander6483]

Mary Is an absolute saint of a woman. I cannot imagine many people willing to forgive someone to the extent that she did. What a story of humbleness between both of them.

[@debbyschweighardt5810]

I am crying from the joy of these amazing stories. With the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, I was feeling very sad. This program has restored my faith in humanity. Thank you!

Deb. Never give up on humanity. This happens amongst other great things, every day. Don't let the media fool you.....🤝🙏👍

[@CloverPandaQ]

im not religious, and i struggle to forgive, but this moves me a bit in a way i cant describe. its special others can do what I cant and Im glad they can.

[@wilapblkhistory8310]

Your comment proves that you have what it takes! You’re not far from the light 💡! It starts with movement (“moves me a bit”), keep moving! 🙏🏾✊🏽💖

Give Steve Hartman more respect and time CBS...

[@jaidevphadke9293]

I can't express the emotion this gives me. It's really a gift.

[@mariuskuhrau761]

One person that should have really been featured in this documentary is Judge Caprio of Providence, who is so well known for his kindness towards Veterans, poor people, etc, that appear before him in court. 👍

[@jimmyhoffa2458]

A wonderful human being. Didn't let his job as a Judge keep him from helping one who really needed it due from things this man went through in the war. God Bless you Judge. God Bless you!

[@debreale5236]

I had tears in my eyes during every segment. Awesome lessons. Thank you!

[@BeckyEller-cs5yt]

Steve Hartman, I absolutely love watching your stories. They are so heart warming and touching.

[@SandyWolf-]

There needs to be more forgiveness in this world 💖

[@kareninalabama]

Preach it, Mary! I would love it if my cousins would realize what she said is true. Until they realize that forgiving their sibling isn't about excusing what he did, but it's about healing themselves, that cancer of unforgivingness and bitterness will continue to grow and spread, and it will destroy them.

[@patriciawhite6820]

I love Steve Hartman. Every story he tells touches my heart.

[@eddiewood6239]

This video made my Bad Better, it warmed my heart and wet my eyes. This video is not "good enough"......It Is Better Than Enough.

Thank you Mr. Steve Hartman for sharing the lessons we all can learn and follow. ❤

[@elviacisneros1116]

Absolutely beautiful. If only we all could always do such a beautiful thing. I believe in forgiveness. It feels just like she said. It is just that sometimes it is easier said than done, unfortunately. We should never, ever stop trying.

[@tomillakockingbird1754]

I don't know which I'm enjoying/ have enjoyed more, Steve: the series you did with your kids or this new series. We need your positive stories. Please keep up the good work!!

I have been watching these videos for days. I qas so touched and moved by all the goodness there still is in the world. I kept searching for more Steve Hartman stories and came to this one. It is the last I can find on YT. I realised why. At furst I tought it was because I love kindness. I love love. I love people. I just love. After watching rhis last videos about the firguveness. I realised I am angry at a lot of people amd circumstances and not to happy. I don't know how this is going to go. But I talked ro myself and decided to go pay more attention at loving me. Really love me, forgive myself and let go.So that is what I am going to spend this year doing. Please qish me luck. I hope to celebrate my sixtieth birthday on my way and doing just fine. ❤❤❤ to everyone. May you have a Blessed 2024.
