This may be my shortest blog post ever, because after watching and listening to this conversation between Anderson Cooper and Stephen Colbert, I am speechless.
Background:
On September 11, 1974, when Stephen Colbert was ten years old, his father and his brothers Peter and Paul, who were closest to him in age, died in the crash of Eastern Air Lines Flight 212 while it was attempting to land in Charlotte, North Carolina.
On July 22, 1988 Anderson Cooper lost his older brother, Carter Vanderbilt Cooper, to suicide.

These two men sit down to chat about their grief, and this is a must-watch for all humans.
Now, I realize these two guys lean left and it was broadcast on CNN and that may rub about 50% of the folks reading this the wrong way. Please put that away and watch two guys talk about suffering. We all suffer and it comes with our existence.
