A thought for Joe Biden

"I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming...I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost."

-- Abraham Lincoln

praised for having raised a fine son, Beau should be praised for being a real stand up man, may he rest in peace. I am sure he will be missed by many, was a rising star in the Democrat party, had looked forward to hearing more from him. There is a new angel in heaven today, my sympathy to the family of Beau Biden.

...just as the Second Inaugural is the greatest speech ever made in America. And it's very apt. Thanks for sharing.

I can't imagine what the Biden family is going thru right now. I'm not only sad for them. I'm sad for the country. Beau would have made a great president. We have all lost a wonderful man...

As a parent myself, I thank you for giving such eloquent voice to the gut-wrenching and heart-wrenching anguish of a parent losing a child.
