Stephen Colbert on Grief and Loss
I have been enjoying Stephen Colbert a lot on late night. George and I often watch his monologues (albeit a day or two later) before bed. He is a well known comedian, his discussion about grief and loss with Anderson Cooper is particularly enlightening. What I hadn’t known is that when he was ten he […]
Am I the only person to see people creating division?
