Voice 2: Later Sylvia got up and took Michael Stone's hand. It was a sign that she had forgiven Stone — that she did not wish him any harm. She later said that she felt she should show Stone that she is a Christian. But the handshake was difficult for her. Afterwards, she ran from the room! The Guardian newspaper later said '(Forgiveness) is a painful, practical step taken by those (people) who want to end the killing.' Michael Stone later said that he too found it difficult when Sylvia took his hand. He said that he had become a Loyalist fighter when he was very young. He had spent time in prison. He felt he had never been able to know his nine children. He wished the events in Ireland had never happened. But he said that the meeting with Sylvia had helped him.
