Heartfelt condolences to the Biden family; to all of Beau's loved ones. Sincerely, our heart goes out to any hurting from this profoundly unfair loss.

Rest forever peacefully, Beau Biden. You will be missed.

Did I post this under a different username? 8.5 years, but same story. Fuck leukemia and all its ugly sibling cancers.

I moved to Washington, DC, a few months prior to that terrible automobile accident and remember it well, all too well. Joe and Beau deserved a far better life than what they have been dealt, as do their families. My deep sympathies to all. Brain cancer is a terrible way to go.

Man... sometimes this world makes no fucking sense at all. I've seen this pronouncement at least a hundred times since yesterday and it hurts every time I read it again.

My best wishes to all of us.

There's nothing more heartbreaking than a parent having to bury a child. It fucks with the natural order. My mother buried a 10 year old son, a stillborn son, miscarried a son. To top it all off, father died young and unexpectedly. That pain informed her life. Sorry for your loss.

Waiting for the fucking fake cancer charities to try to cash in as well.Avoid the scumbags, if you plan to give some of your hard-earned ameros, and stick with the Charity Watch A-rated outfits.

Keep trucking. Wish I had more useful advice, but then I'd take it myself first.

He admitted, more than once, that the first months after his first wife and their daughter's deaths were the worst, he literally went out at night looking for a fight in bad neighborhoods...It took some time.
