I wanted to offer my condolences to James Joyner for the sudden loss of his wife, Kimberly. James has long been a friend of this blog. To me personally, James has always been a good blogging role-model – a generous and fair-minded presence online. In many ways he was a big help in getting both this blog and my own writing more exposure. He and his family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I feel like anything I say would be inadequate. The thought of losing a spouse is horrible. The thought of losing Alice’s papa is far, far worse.
Nothing I say could be up to it.Report
Terrible, the poor man.Report
It’s unfathomable. That poor family.Report
Yes, words are wholly inadequate; and even an acknowledgment of that fact feels rote and uncaring. It’s just horrifying what happened to Mr. Joyner’s family, an incomprehensibly painful and senseless tragedy.Report
