Senator Biden spend 4 hours each way on a train to D.C. and back to DE everyday, so he could be home with his children at night and then, after they grew up and out, he still did it in order to be with his second wife. That would be for 36 years, for those who are counting his terms.

Beau Biden was 46 years old and died of brain cancer.

Thank you for posting the incredibly sad news about the untimely death of Joe Biden"s son, Beau.

Learning about this today brought to mind the experience of a dear friend of mine, in Berlin. She watched both her mother and her mother's sister, her aunt, die rather suddenly from brain cancer. And it changed her, in so many ways. Stemming the tide of unfathomable sorrow nearly always affects a person deeply, but I couldn't help but remember my friend Len.



Thanks for sharing, Dapper.
