Thanks for sharing this personal story, and sorry for your loss(es). It helps to see the human side of policy decisions.
What a powerful story, Jim. It should be required reading for every public official. It had to be hard to write. I’m so sorry for your losses of so many loved ones, but thank you for sharing their story and so beautifully. You’ve told a story that so many others wish they had the ability to tell as well and wish would be heard. I’m hoping they and you have found some comfort in your enlightenment of others.
