My heart sunk and my throat caught when I read your thread title. I’ve typed replies 3 different times over the past 2 days, but haven’t been able to keep a steady internet connection, so every time, they’ve been lost and I couldn’t log back in. I am so deeply sorry for such a profound loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers, as you were today while we were standing in front of the Capitol, watching the swearing-in. Yet another who didn’t get to live to see this day, but as I thought of the two of you, he was at least there in spirit.

Wishing you strength and comfort.
