RIP Mr. Olbermann. My thoughts & prayers with you & your family at this time.

I just feel drained. For him to lose both parents within a year...this has got to be so hard on him.

I was reading him his favorite James Thurber short stories, as he left us.

Sweet dreams and no worries we got Keith's back from here.

May your grief be eased with loving memories and endless gratitude for the joy and privilege of having Ted as your Dad.
Peace be with you.

My heart aches for you and your family. The pain of losing someone you love, someone so dear; is mind-numbing. You feel like you're in a daze. I know. I wish you peace.

:hug:

I'm so glad, though, that Keith was able to spend so much time with his dad before he died.

My very heartfelt condolences to Keith and his sister. :cry:

How lucky you and Ted were to have each other, and of course that doesn't really ever end.

:hug:

Are we planning a donation in his memory? I don't know if KO has announced a place to send donations.

Announced by Howard Fineman in Newsweek.

More so after reading Keith's comment about how it all finally happened.

When the End Comes

If you should catch a glimpse of sadness in your eyes
when you see them in a reflection, sing a happy song.

If the new normal is that we should never speak again,
praise and exalt the time we had together,
because that's what I'll remember.

If things were left unsaid, if questions remain unanswered,
if we never see each other's smile again,
I'll focus on the wonder and beauty of each other
as we were.

Should life's plan decide it's over,
should it, in its (some say) infinite wisdom,
decide we should never be near each other again,
you may be tempted to think of the pain,
but my remaining days will be spent telling you I love you.

Utterly, utterly beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.
