In that photo, it looks (to me) like she’s been crying a lot, lately. She married someone who’s really heroic and will be remembered that way in history. But all she knows is that the love of her life has a dreadful disease, and will be taken from her WAY too soon.

Driving the news: Sharing a selfie with former first lady Jill Biden and their cat, Willow, the former president wrote, "Cancer touches us all."
He continued, "Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support."

I really feel for her.
