No parent should ever have to think about losing a child, let alone losing them to a violent crime. For Dale Adams, she's had to wrestle with that reality. Later this month, it will have been three years since Tristan Reece was fatally shot in Halifax. Last month, Kaz Henry Cox was sentenced to life in prison with no parole eligibility for 25 years for first-degree murder. Yet Adams says she has forgiven the man who took the life of the 19-year old aspiring football player. That is not the reaction many people expect to hear from a grieving mother. Dale Adams spoke with reporters immediately following the sentencing in Nova Scotia Supreme Court.
