When I heard it on the news I blurted out “I hope he gets well” and my son laughed, I said “I was being sincere” and he laughed again.
Give the King a hug for me. ;o)
I agree with your first reaction. I hope he gets well, too. However, I can’t say that I’m sorry for the timing. ;o)
To be honest with you, I think he knew what was coming down the pike, legislatively speaking, and he did was was best for him...health-wise, and politically.
I don’t blame him for either reason.
