...in terms of decency and competency, I don't think we've had a team quite like this in US history...

I lost my sister, mother and aunt, last year, and my spirit is still a raw wound. I see the same look on Joe Biden's face, that I see on mine, when I look in the mirror.

She would have been my sister's first grandchild, so I'm stepping in. I get to see her again, tomorrow, and I'm so excited!

She is most definitely the light of my life. This will be the first time my niece and my brother get to meet Lila, which makes this visit even more special.

for all of us who have lost loved ones. No one can bring tears to my eyes quicker, as his pain is so authentic and his compassion so limitless. When he tells people that he "understands what they are going through", he truly does.

I am so sorry for your losses, so much in such a short period of time.

I know the timing was off, but he would have been extraordinary candidate and an exceptional president.

Damn I'm going to miss them both.
