I mean, we knew this was coming, but it’s still a big hit to the gut, isn’t it?
If you missed the heartbreaking letter he wrote once he knew his time on earth was coming to an end, read it right here. It’s absolutely remarkable – his grace and strength.
I wrote a long time ago that it was a bucket list item for me to meet him, and introduce him to my dad, and watch them play a game of chess. Remember?
And then it happened.
I posted that on my IG/FB pages, with this caption:
The news about Charles Krauthammer is so sad. His goodbye letter is heartbreakingly brave. I’m so grateful for the email exchanges and phone calls I was fortunate enough to share with him, and mostly that my daddio and I were able to spend an afternoon with him in his DC office 8 years ago. The chess game was just for show, but it made my heart explode with love. ❤️
RIP, Charles.
