Too late, I already did and now here sits a grown man with tears in his eyes. God bless this family in their grief.

Yeah, I guess I should have put "tissue allert" or some such thing in the title.

Mr. and Mrs. Norwood, thank you.

My thoughts, too. What a gift. What a sacrifice.

What a wonderful tribute. I saw Mr and Mrs Norwood on Hanity and Combs. Both of them are a class act all the way.

She says she wrote the letter to President Bush to comfort him.

As long as the United States has parents like this we will stand strong.

She was articulate and well-spoken in her interviews, but this is a masterpiece.

My heart hurts for her.
