In the statement from the campaign, the Senator encouraged those who wish to express their condolences to contribute to cancer research. We thank Senator Obama for this thoughtful action at a time of unimaginable grief.

I can’t even imagine getting onstage and speaking to thousands of people several times in one day after a loss like this, but he did it. I teared up again and again during that speech.

I need to go blub a little bit more now, for both Obama and Durbin.

I lost my dad to cancer a month ago, and I can’t imagine having to grieve publicly.

My heart really goes out to both of them.

I know that Obama’s hurting. I was a mess after losing my grandma, and I didn’t have to be on a national stage. I can’t even begin to imagine what Durbin’s going through. :(

May they find comfort in the memories they left behind.
