A Note From Beau's Mom

By Baxter

We cats have no desire to give Robert Hur and his silly documents report any further oxygen, but we have to share what landed in our email in-box last night from First Lady Jill Biden. Not sure there's any point in discussing this anymore — she's said it all. We cats salute her, and we PURR.

"Rather than just saying the case was closed, as they have for others, the Special Counsel claimed that Joe 'couldn't remember the year his son died.' Believe me, like anyone who has lost a child, Beau and his death never leave him.

"I hope you can imagine how it felt to read that attack — not just as Joe's wife, but as Beau's mother.

"I don't know what this Special Counsel was trying to achieve. We should give everyone grace, and I can't imagine someone would try to use our son's death to score political points. If you've experienced a loss like that, you know that you don't measure it in years — you measure it in grief.

"May 30th is a day forever etched on our hearts. It shattered me, it shattered our family...What helped me, and what helped Joe, was to find purpose. That's what keeps Joe going, serving you and the country we love.

"Joe is 81, that's true — but he's 81 doing more in an hour than most people do in a day. He has delivered on so many of his promises as President precisely because he's learned a lot in those 81 years. His age, with his experience, is an incredible asset, and he proves it daily.

"At some point in our lives, we'll all experience grief and loss. We'll go through challenging moments and twists and turns. But we find joy together, we persevere together, and ultimately we'll prevail together. Thank you for being a part of our campaign. Love, Jill."
