Hillary Clinton posted that her brother died last night

[DesertRat]

We lost my brother Tony last night. It’s hard to find words, my mind is flooded with memories of him today. When he walked into a room he’d light it up with laughter. He was kind, generous, & a wonderful husband to Megan & father to Zach, Simon, & Fiona. We’ll miss him very much.

1. My sincere condolences, Madame Secretary...

May he cross gently.

36. Madame (True) President, you mean

Trump stole the election with GOP voter suppression. Just as DeSantis and Rick Scott and Brian Kemp stole their elections with voter suppression.
Millions were purged from voter rolls before 2016. That’s cheating. He and the GOP cheated. Hillary is the rightful president.

[calimary]

42. She's certainly MY President.

My sympathies on the loss of her brother.

3. I wonder if it was his heart, 65 is very young to die

[TruckFump]

15. Since I am a lot older than that,

I have to say that is VERY young.

So sorry for Hillary and her family!

4. So sad. I hope my brother doesn't go anytime soon.

6. This hits me as if it was someone I knew myself.

Also - grammarians - should I have said "was someone," or "were someone?"

[leftieNanner]

18. Were

And thanks for asking.

[maddiemom]

40. "Were" implies something you wish, or would/could imagine, were true.

[tblue37]

30. "Were." I've been told my explanation of the subjunctive is particularly clear, if you're interested

BTW, the Spanish example should be quisiera, but I made a typo, and I can't, for some reason, make changes now. (The web pages are from the 1990s.)

[maddiemom]

41. YES. Very thorough explanation, thanks.

[Rstrstx]

34. Yes - it's why people say "If I were you..."

9. It's tough to lose a brother.

My younger brother died a couple of years ago. His illness wasn't known to anyone in the family, so it came as a total shock. He never told anyone about any health concerns.

[DesertRat]

28. I'm sorry for your loss

It's hard to lose a sibling, especially a younger one.

[SammyWinstonJack]

39. My dad died this past Thursday. He was 91, a life long Democrat and my hero.

Sorry for your loss.

[redstatebluegirl]

10. Condolences Madam Secretary.

When we age, we begin to lose those we love and it is horrible. Prayers to her and her family.
