Heartbreak

As Senator McCain makes a gracious speech and Senator Obama prepares to appear in his new role, it strikes me that there are many families for whom the precious right we exercised today falls dead last in priority this evening, and rightfully so. This one, in particular, covets your prayers. May we bear up with and for them and all the families who unwillingly occupy the same horrible place. May we carry a little extra and cherish more dearly our civic rights and responsibilities while they cannot.

God be with you, Ben, and with your family. Our hearts are broken for you.
