This would be a pretty boring place if we couldn’t have different favorites, opinions, and dispositions.

Yes madeline is cool. I am kind of sad hillary’s first public event has to be talking about friends and coworkers who have passed away

That crossed my mind, but she has such spirit, I am sure she will make it upbeat and celebratory.

She’ll keep it all together she never shows emotion in public. She’s strong as steel. She can handle this and it might help her to talk about things like remembering those we’ve lost and so.

I wonder how Hillary is feeling. It must have been such a tough week for her and the family.

I think I know. No matter how strong you are, it disorients you a little. But you find your path. It came suddenly – my mom, too – so probably a shock. It picks you up and moves you over a half-inch – but you find your footing.
Going ahead, you miss what your mom tells you and miss telling her stuff – so you talk to her. You apologize for forgetting that she already knows what you are telling her.
You miss having her around, so you take a bathrobe or something and wear it. It feels like a hug. And then you go to work because you still have work to do. People are lovely to you, and that’s nice. You come through. You do. People help. So all of us can. She needs our support. I had great support. I want to pay it forward to our Hillary.

Glad to hear it. Families need to stick together at times like this. From what I have read about Dorothy, this sounds like what she would have wanted them to do.

I’m sure she would have wanted her grandson to play, and I’m also sure it helped him to have his family in the stands.
