TracyP Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 So sad. So many tragedies for him. :( The thought of losing one child is unbearable, to lose another... I can't even imagine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RKWAcademy Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 So sad; he was so young. Really makes me think about how precious life is when someone close to my age or my husband's age dies like this. And I can't imagine the VP's pain of losing his children like he has. I must say that the statement that the Obamas released was very touching indeed. It pains me to complement them, but it was well done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umsami Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I was really sad/surprised to read this. I remember Beau having a stroke a few years back, but I had no idea he was fighting brain cancer. I knew VP Biden's wife had been killed, along with his young daughter, in a car wreck in the early 70s. I can't imagine losing your wife and young daughter, and then losing your son far too young as well. Very few members of congress had kids who served in Iraq. Biden was one of them. Reminds me of Pierce Brosnan....losing his wife to cancer, and then his daughter to the same cancer a year or two ago. :( 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 The picture of VP Biden getting sworn in for the Senate at Beau's bedside made me lose it. Beau was a much beloved son. I will be thinking of the Vice President and Beau's young family. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I was so sad when I heard the news. I was worried that this might happen, but Beau always looked so fit and healthy that I kept thinking he would be okay. I feel so sorry for the Biden family. :crying: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Joe Biden is a really exemplary father. And Beau was a war veteran as well. He had two young children as well. This family has born more than their fair share of heartache and loss. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I saw this on drudge last night right before going to bed. My heart goes out to Beau's family, as well as the Vice President. He has lost more in his lifetime than most, and I cannot imagine how painful this has been for him, even knowing it was coming. Prayers for all of them :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucyStoner Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 :( Parents shouldn't have to bury their children. Sincere condolences. Especially not twice. I do not know what I would do. I love the image of him making those boys breakfast every morning before going to the Senate. He's a good egg who raised good kids. It's important to remember the humanity of people, even when we deeply disagree with them. Beau was a very promising politician and more importantly, decent family man, on his own merits as well. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
