RIP Senator Kennedy. Reunited with your brothers and sisters... all of you gave so much of yourselves for your country.

We knew this was coming, it doesn't seem to make it any less sad.

I have so many thoughts and feelings .. none of them sound right typed out. The end of an era...

Wow. Again, we knew this was coming, but it was rough to see all of the texts announcing the fact this morning.

Can you imagine working the same job since you were 30?

Expected (eventually) or not, this one is hard for me. RIP Senator, you will be greatly missed. And here's hoping that for at least a day here on GC we can keep politics pushed to the side and just recognize that a very important person in our country is no longer with us, regardless of whether or not you agreed with his policy.

Ditto.

I have been watching the coverage all morning with a heavy heart. I was saddened by the footage of the Kennedy brothers and the history of the family's struggles.
