I hope Kristin will read this.

I apologize. I hope she will forgive me. I just said what I felt was right, but it's really hard to know. I have no clues such as tone of voice or body language, so it is impossible to know what effect a person's words are having on another. I probably needed to say some of those things, but I could have been kinder.

I need to know if she wants answers to her questions.

I got to thinking about the issue of grandparents. I am one, so I have some insight, I suppose.

I need to talk about forgiveness. Forgiveness is when a person makes a decision not to hold the hurt he's experiencing against the person who is causing it. Jesus took our sins into His body and paid the price so He could forgive us.

If one of my children had an abortion, I would probably forgive if that child wanted forgiveness. But I would bear the hurt of knowing what happened to my grandchild in my own heart for the rest of my life. So perhaps it's not a question of forgiveness so much as it is a question of the price a person will have to pay in order to forgive.
