Reply #20: My thoughts (and condolences) exactly. When one is divorced, [View All]

that does NOT end the feelings and experiences shared (ESPECIALLY if children bond your memories and continued contact). There is "something" about one's first young love...and the memories he and Julia shared through such young, formative years in both their lives.

(BOTH their daughters DO resemble her. Certainly "Alex" more, but still both do.) My heartfelt sympathy to JK AND his daughters, AND Julia...that she did not live long enough to see him Prez one day soon.

My deepest sadness at the 'loss.' Julia appears to have been such a lovely person...and though somehow chose instead a reclusive life, her affection for John (I sense) continued through the years.

Today, as many here at DU, I feel great grief for JK. And send my "supportive" thoughts to his family.
