I was so looking forward to him coming to NYC for the NYS Primary.

And I could have seen him at the Greek parade in April, but I wasn't much of a parade goer at that point. I figured I'd see him in the Primary.

I was 11 when we visited the original JFK grave with the white picket fence. We had cousins just outside of DC.

Then decades later I visited the fully constructed JFK grave, and then Bobby's.
So effin' sad.

"Goodbye John, Goodbye Martin, Goodbye Bobby
They took you away before you sang your song."

It always brings tear to my eyes.
