Burying a child. The Vice President of the United States of America did that today. For the second time. And my heart reaches out to Joe Biden today.
Beau Biden, who was the Attorney General of Delaware and an Iraqi War veteran, and had a lot of promise in the Democratic Party (I would have supported him as a candidate for President, like I did his father in 1988). He was a lot like his Dad. And I really like his Dad. He served and realized that was his calling and no words can eulogize that properly. But I can put it in my perspective...
I can't imagine Maggie dying right now. She is an awesome costumer and an awesome analyst looking for her break. I can't imagine Katie dying right now. She is an awesome mother and an awesome creative talent. I can't imagine Tom dying right now. He is an awesome chef and an awesome comedian. It would be so unfair. And I would be absolutely devastated.
So today, my heart is with Joe Biden.
May your son rest in peace in the company of angels.
