In case you have not heard, Jimmy Carter announced he had cancer and needed to cut back on his schedule. He stated his words in such humble and matter-of-fact manner, it reminded me of my dad. And Joe Biden lost his son Beau Biden to brain cancer. I do not know how Joe Biden is standing. When he was young DC muckity muck, he lost his wife and daughter in a car accident. In that same accident, his sons Beau and Hunter were dangerously hurt. Here is some of the commencement speech at Yale that he delivered while his son was battling cancer. Here he is on Steve Colbert talking about, I don’t know, stuff in general when his son comes up. (Colbert also survived some BS in his life; his dad and brother were killed in a plane crash when he was a kid). People go through so much crap, a.k.a. suffering and I have no idea how they do it. I am very inspired by these two old white dudes and the way they just live it and are honest about. Let’s hope I have that kind of grace when it’s my turn.
