After Erika Kirk said publicly that she forgives the young man who shot her husband, it generated many reactions. But Tim Allen seemed to be the one most affected by this, as he had struggled to forgive the man who killed his father when he was 11 years old.
This gesture from Erika inspired him to finally let go of the grudge he had held for all these years.
“When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband: “That man… that young man… I forgive him.” That moment deeply affected me.” Tim Allen wrote on his X account, “I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: ‘I forgive the man who killed my father.’ Peace be with you all.”
