Parents are not intended to put their children to rest for eternity. This man has endured his share of life's gut punches and then some.

It’s a good cry, a cleansing cry and I’ll be stronger for it.
Everything I’ve done for this election to get Biden elected is blessed by this.

There's a room that the newly elected pope is directed to to don the papal vestments. It's in this room that the selected person first feels the heavy weight of the office that they have been elected to. Unless something is way off, Joe Biden is going to feel that burden we all have placed on him. I only hope that he is ready for it and as many of us as possible will help lighten it.

Most people expected Beau Biden would one day run for president. From all accounts, he was an ideal, future candidate. I'm sure that simple fact weighs heavily on Joe Biden, particularly on this day.

I don't hold much truck with religion, but I am more than happy for anything that eases his sorrow. Even the idea of burying your children is incomprehensible.

Such a good and honorable man. I've been waiting DECADES for him to become POTUS. I hope to be shouting with JOY that it has finally happened.
