Supported him as the Hillary alternative last go-around.

His son is with his first Mom now.

Peace.

You can tell from the photos of the grandchildren with both grandparents that they are close and feel comfortable with them. That will certainly help their mother in the days to come. The grandchildren will also help the grandparents deal with their loss. It's amazing how that works.

Bless them all.

First his first wife and young daughter and now Beau. I can't even begin to imagine how he is feeling. May Beau rest in peace.

I really enjoyed it.

I hope that nature behaves itself and does what it's supposed to do, and I die before President Obama. Couldn't take it if he left...
