Every mother grieved while watching the Khans appearance at the Democratic Convention. EVERY mother was touched. I don't think you can be a mother and NOT be touched by that. (Well, unless you're an abuser or a broken individual or otherwise sick inside, yourself, that is.) Every time I see a replay of that clip of them at the convention and her husband doing the talking, and when they were both on Lawrence O'Donnell's show Friday night - when she did speak, several times - I get choked up. Just can't help it.
