I'm thankful for a president who shows compassion and respect for lives lost and grieving loved ones. It's obvious he is sharing genuine empathy from his own experiences of loss..

My condolences to the USA, the once greatest country that now doesn't know how to sacrifice one's comforts to protect others, to curb the pandemic and is totally lost among splitting party personalities.

I myself Almost Lost My Life To Covid-19 last March 2020 I was in and Out of the Hospital For three Times
I told Myself I have to Fight This And I Told My Parents When I called 911 For My Parents Not To Help me Cause I did not want them To Get The Covid 19 by helping me They are Seniors So Vulnerable to this Pandemic ....
Ritenow It makes Me Cry Cause I almost Had became One of the 500, 000...

Every ring of the National Cathedral bell equated to my entire high school graduation class times 3 dead before the next time the bell rang again. It rang 500 times. I tried to listen to them all to honor those that passed and those that continue to suffer their loss. I’m not gonna front, I don’t think I got to 20 rings before I couldn’t hold back the tears and I’m highly doubtful that I even got to 100 before I couldn’t stop crying, tapped out and stopped the tape. I’m gonna need a minute and will have to take the rings in chunks, I think. I’m so sorry for all the pain. As someone who’s been the primary hospice provider for parents he loved dearly, I’m so sorry for the grief I know so many are enduring.
