It's been a strange situation here in Delaware since Beau Biden had his last brain incident and was in M.D. Anderson.
Let's go back in time. Some of you may not remember that six weeks after Joe Biden was elected to the Senate in 1972, his wife and baby daughter were killed in a car accident. His two sons were badly injured, and Joe took his oath in their room. Dead man walking.
But he recovered and remarried, and the boys grew up and have children, except that Beau seemed to have something not quite right with his brain. He had a stroke in 2010. It runs in the family; Joe has had aneurysms.
And then in 2013, the unnamed situation. Beau was in M.D. Anderson, came out with an enormous scar, and since then - and he was the Attorney General of the state at that time - since then he has not spoken a word in public, and has been seen in public very little. He's not...he doesn't have much of a facial expression. He stares.
Last week I heard a rumor that he had had to have assistance to go somewhere medical, and was using oxygen. Oh no. No no no. Please not, I thought.
But yes.

Joe Biden walks under a dark star. I worked for him in 1972, and I went to the memorial service, and I'll never forget his face. I don't want to see it again.
Please hold Beau Biden in the light.
