Cindy, sometimes we mess up and when we do we ask the person we hurt for forgiveness or a chance to move forward agreeing to disagree. Unfortunately life doesn't play out the way we want it to and that forgiveness is never given back to us.

My best advice is to step back and wait on this person to accept your apology and hope that in time their compassion will outweigh their anger or hurt. If it doesn't then you must move on and let it go. As hard as that is, it is what you have to do to let go of the grief.

To forgive is the hardest thing for some people and easier for others. I cannot hold a grudge to save my life. It will eat me alive until I fix what broke. For others it is their way of building a wall to protect themselves. Try to remember the old saying "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours. If it doesn't, it never was." I hope things work out for you and this person. Hugs.
