The most decent man I ever knew. [View all]

Many years ago a very lovely man and his wife moved into our neighborhood in the Keys having recently retired from the northeast. We discussed many subjects, eventually politics as well and he told us he had been a union representative and eventually the first campaign manager for Joe Biden who was running for a local seat.

I knew of Joe and had always liked him, but asked my friend what had inspired him to do this.

His answer was simple.

“ I’ve come to know the man, and he is the kindest and most decent man I have ever known.”

But as we all know, it takes more than kindness and decency to be a great president. It takes brains and instinct and education and experience and friendships … and TIME to nurture them all… And to let them know that he is a decent human.

Mission accomplished. ❤️
