Rob,

Thanks for your response. I'm usually pretty skeptical of politicos, mostly because most of them are full of you know what. But Beau (and his father) have always struck me as very honest, hard-working and family-oriented. If I didn't know any better, Joe always seemed Italian to me (with regards to the way family came first, then friends, then religion and finally work and the fact that he wore his feelings on his sleeve). I assume Beau was similar in this regard. My only connection was he (through Beth) got us into the White House for a tour. I was always very grateful for that (even though Carolina and Luca fought in the dining room and we had to cut our tour short;).

You should read Sheryl Sandberg's note on grief. As I'm sure you know, she lost her husband a month ago. It's a great note. I will send separately. When I lost my father, a colleague at work looked at me and said simply, with time, it will get better. It does. So I hope it gets better for you and your family quickly.

Love to all.

Nick

Nick-
Thank you so very much for the note. I am still trying to comprehend his passing. What I will miss most is our nearly daily banter. He loved and was most proud of our community and the community loved him back – as demonstrated by the literally thousands of people that showed up for his wake and funeral. He left this world before his time, but as the President said in his Eulogy, he did more in 46 years than most could do in 146 years and he left nothing in the tank. In the 22 months that he battled cancer, he truly never complained once. Reminiscing with all of our close friends over the past week has numbed the pain. I look forward to the time “when a smile come to my lips before a tear to my eye.” All my best, Rob
