I had to post this here tonight, as I can’t get it out of my mind.   I lost my mom when I was just 19 and she just 47. I lost my dad six years ago.  I sympathized with Keith last year when his mother died, and have worried about his father for the last many months, especially on all those nights when Keith has been absent from my tv screen.

Tonight, as his father asks for help through his son, I watched Keith’s special comment with tears in my eyes.  This is must viewing for all Americans, especially those who want to deny health care as a basic human right for others.  My thoughts and best wishes (and prayers if I was a praying person) are all with Keith and his dad tonight…
