I was with my father-in-law in the hospital when he died in 1978.

I did not cry.

I was with my brother when he died in 1993 at age 52 from cancer.

I did not cry.

When my father died at age 86, I did not cry. I gave the eulogy at his funeral.

When my mother passed at almost 94, I did not cry. I gave the eulogy at her funeral, although a tear formed at the end.

When my mother-in-law died in our home from cancer at age 86, I did not cry.

When I heard the news about Rush, I cried.

I started listening to him in August, 1988 just after he went national.

For 32 years, on and off, whenever I could, I listened to Rush.

32 years of trying to educate people and trying to save America.

In a season of so many recent losses, the loss of a leader like Rush, was just one more loss on the camel’s back.

And the camel’s back gave way today.

I think that is exactly the reason this is hitting so hard for most of us today.

I know it is for me.

One more TREMENDOUS loss.

I cried, too. And I wondered why. You just explained it to me. Thank you.

That was a sweet tribute.

“In a season of so many recent losses, the loss of a leader like Rush, was just one more loss on the camel’s back.”

We have had a lot of losses. Perhaps Rush’s passing is God protecting him from having to see any more.
