It can hurt and piss them off.



Because of this.

I suppose that anything is possible but I highly doubt it....

I have put the idea out there and I guess the thing to do now is to wait and see what a majority of people think about it.... Thanks for your input.

As an individual, I think it's a great idea, especially as a donation to some sort of cause--watch for the obituary.

As a group, it could seem contrived, as though we're rewarding him for good behavior--aka, behavior we agree with--and that's the root of the sympathy. It's possible he could be offended by that. Politicizing this in any way would be low, and we are a political group.

I'm glad he's saying this, but I feel his wishes will be disrespected and new laws will come out of this anyhow.

My condolences and repect for this man.

That man is an oak.

Indeed - the real patriot is committed to freedom especially when it hurts to be a patriot.

I have a friend who has lost two immediate family members (father and sister, separate incidents) to premature death, so I value his opinion on these matters. He said the first couple of weeks they received a lot of support, which was appreciated. After that period, life settled down and the pain really set in. But everyone else moved on and the emotional support waned even though it was still very much needed.

Just a thought when considering the timing of a gesture of kindness.

this is true...but it is lost in America. We are the land of "sure I can help as long as it doesn't interfere with my TV time."

There's a website called something like "Caring Bridge" where people set up pages for very ill children. That might be a good place to set something up where anyone could go and write condolences.
I thought maybe locally people could organize "Hugged my child today" eLetters. Since he talked about support from family and friends, that might mean a lot to him, that people were taking extra time with their kids in his daughter's memory. This might take a little time, which would put it in the framework mentioned of the reality of the loss setting in after a couple of weeks.
