I'm sure it's easy to get political about it, point fingers, blame, etc.

But it seems so pointless to do any of those things. They won't bring him back.

Here in Maryland, we thought we were doing all the right things. Taking the necessary precautions.

I feel such sadness for his three sisters. They must be feeling so much pain. They celebrated his birthday via Zoom.

To be Christian in this moment, to believe that there is an afterlife, can be a blessing in times of pain. And if not that, to pull out all of the wonderful memories to celebrate his life.

An amazing man. A black man. An older man. A statistic. It's just not right. But that changes nothing.

We must all work to minimize similar occurrences in the future.

[AlexSFCA]

22. Sorry to hear. in a weird way I sometimes envy those who believe in God

and I often agonize if I did the right choice raising kids as atheists. Moments like these make me question. I do feel that if not taught from very young age, it will be near impossible to believe later.

23. As you said, "It's just not right". Now's the time for sad reflection, and fond

remembrances, NOT for politics for you and your family.

But, by god, there will come a time, swiftly soon, that a nations' outrage will reach such a height, that it will wash away the evil filth now letting this pandemic wreak havoc.

My son has had covid.

We are praying and hoping for the best.

For him, for all of us.

So sorry that this scourge has been visited upon your family.

[qwlauren35]

25. I am sorry to hear about your son.

I hope he recovers fully and completely.

It may not feel like it right now, but we are all in this (mess) together.

43. It's horrible. I lost my dad too. I do blame

Trump though. No, won't bring him back, you are right.

Hope Dems don't cave on one thing. The right of the little guy to sue. They are hiding that.

[smirkymonkey]

44. I am so sorry for your loss, qwlauren.

I know there is not much I can say to take the pain away, but I want to express my sincere condolences to you and to your cousin's sisters. I can't even imagine what pain they must be feeling. I think about this all the time and when it is going to finally fall on my doorstep, or of those I know.

I know that pointing fingers won't bring anybody back, but better leadership could have saved lives, including your cousin's. That is what makes me so upset. There are so many people who have died needlessly and that is what is so tragic.

Again, I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family. I wish you peace and healing. May your cousin RIP.
