Thank you for the link to the essay. Very well said. Biden is a leader and a patriot.

My heart aches for President Biden tonight. How hard that decision must have been! He is the definition of a patriot, one who puts the good of the country over personal power or ego. What a leader!

A stunning act of patriotism.

Those of us with elderly parents or grandparents know all too well the tension between acceptance and defiance of the ravages of time, and how gutting it is. Really like how you drew that out of the maelstrom of news.

I am a Canadian but I follow US politics pretty carefully. Almost everything decided or done in your country affects mine. As usual, your essay has detailed this situation perfectly. I think President Biden has made an ego free decision. One that is best for the country. The other guy might want to pay attention to how that works.
