Forgiveness as a family value: loving even when you disagree or get hurt
Kris becomes emotional explaining how she practices love through communication, compassion, and forgiveness. She describes searching for root causes of behavior, acknowledging she can’t control others, and choosing to forgive to avoid being ‘stuck forever.’
