「我現在有兩個媽媽，兩個家庭要照顧，責任重大，我不能再走錯路了！」小楊獲得游林美雲原諒後，找到重生的力量。他說，將來要好好照顧單親的游林美雲，彌補殺害她獨子的錯。

小楊回想四年前和「游媽媽」第一次見面，他當天上午才接到游媽媽的信，第一句話寫著「我是阿德的母親，你一定感到很意外吧！」

當時他更意外的是，游媽媽信中說：「會寫信給你，是因為要告訴你，下個禮拜會去高雄看你。」接信的下午她就出現面前，讓他驚慌失措。

Whither the death penalty?

5 November 2008 (Taipei Times)

Yesterday, as Indonesia increased security ahead of the execution of the three Islamic militants convicted in the 2002 Bali bombings, a seminar in Taipei brought French and Taiwanese legal specialists together to discuss how Taiwan can continue its path toward abolishing capital punishment.

The carnage wrought by the terrorists behind the bombings, in which 202 people were killed, was an unspeakable crime.

It may seem difficult in this context to argue for the abolition of the death penalty, but the message at yesterday’s forum was clear: The death penalty is a violation of human rights, illegal in all cases under international law.
