There are times for partisan commentary and that was not one of them. Beautiful!

Thanks, Richard. While he may have sparked the idea, it reminded me of many others.

Wow ... a wonderful blend of empathy and being in the moment, even if it is someone else's moment.

Thank you, Mary. So hard to see someone declining, and hard to imagine how that feels.

I assumed you were talking about Mr. McConnell. I appreciated that no matter what I or anyone thinks of his politics, you were able to take a very different perspective and brought humanity back to someone with whom I don’t usually feel a generosity of spirit. I sincerely appreciated recognizing that perspective.
