"My heart does go out to those who have lost their child due to his actions," Dahlgren told CBC News. "They know that I love them and I support them and I want what's best for them. … To have peace and to find their happiness in life and acceptance, forgiveness, love, compassion. These are all things that I've experienced."

"Thank you," he said, his voice breaking, tears welling in his eyes. "I have shame, have a lot of sadness. And all of those things I deal with every day. So I'm waiting for that day when I start seeing a small amount of happiness."
