❤️

I needed a story like this, right now. Thank you for sharing and using such touching words. 💖 My heart goes out to you and your loved ones, also.

Heartbreaking. I’m so sorry

❤️‍🩹

Such a beautiful & deep story about your daughter, Miranda. I'm so so sorry for your loss, I'm sure will always be felt deep within your soul. Miranda sounded like she was a firecracker, full of life & ready to face each day with fervor. Her dog, well I think you found her soul mate. Condolences~

Lovely.

this is beautiful David. So sorry for your family's loss.

Very sorry for your loss.

May her memory be for a blessing. Such a moving tribute about and to your daughter.

Awwe, precious Ringo! I am so sorry you lost your daughter.

My heartfelt empathy for your loss. I am a 72 year old father of a daughter and a grandfather. I wept reading that eulogy/memoir. Now I know why you look so sad on CNN.

I apologize for anything I said here to you, however I do feel you'll know that it's in jest and akin to saber rattling than anything else. Like I would say, those I actually despise, I care not dialogue.

So sorry for your loss. 💔

By the way David..I grew up in the era of "Barbara Frum". We thought the world of her. You have every right to be a very proud son which I'm sure you are. Her name still gets mentioned btw. You take care of yourself. From one proud Canadian to another.

Thought that too. Remember listening to her on CBC. So long ago

Beautiful article about your daughter in the Atlantic. May you and your wife find peace in the memory of your daughter. She lives in your heart forever.

My sincere condolences on your heartbreaking loss. Take good care of Ringo.

Can not imagine your pain … admire your calmness and easy flow of your words. Keep up the great work, you are wonderful and we need your common sense approach in these trying times. Thank you for all you do.loved your mom and her work .. she would be so proud of her awesome son. I know I am 🇨🇦

Thank you kindly. Reading now.

Great memorial of your daughter. Our 15yr old son also had a brain tumour which was removed, unfortunately, it was a cancerous tumour. Seems impossible to beat at the moment, as we just learned the malignancy is back for the third time in two years.

Strength to your son & y’all. We rarely know the journeys families are traveling. Love to you.

Thank you.

That is a heartbreaking story.

Thank you for keeping this 📰 available for us. Here is an image via @fawzi0000.bsky.social to share - posted a few years ago.

I thank you much 🌹 I wish you a happy Saturday and weekend 💮 enjoy your day

Thank YOU - some of your posts make us smile, some of your posts make us giggle, and some of your posts go deep down our hearts and stick in there. ✨

I appreciate your support and kindness 🙏❤️

💔💔💔

So beautifully written. We would all be privileged to have known Miranda. I am so grateful that we get to share her father's talent. Thank you.

Much love to you and your family, sir.

My heart is breaking for you Mr. Frum. My love to you and your family.

I can't even imagine the pain.

What a beautiful story. Thank you and so sorry for your loss. I couldn’t imagine how difficult the loss of a child can be. 🫶

No parent expects their child to die before them. It is impossible to be prepared for. homework.study.com/explanation/...

Styron stresses that even if you have reached "despair beyond despair", keep going. Eventually you will be delivered back to the capacity for serenity and joy. I think that people with this mood disorder can plumb the depths of sadness because we understand it.

I'm so very sorry.

It’s heart wrenching 💔. What a good man

Thank you for sharing. My 17yr old son died shortly after Covid. Such a mixed blessing. The family was locked down together for a year. Who gets to spend that kind of time with their teenagers? There aren’t words to express the pain of a parent losing a child. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Deepest sympathy for your loss

Thank you. A wondeful piece of writing.

Beautiful

Reading this filled me with grattitude and sadness. But I also laughed. I hope you have many moments of comfort with Ringo and your family.

What a beautiful child, person. Your memoir of your daughter is touching.

Extremely moving and beautifully written 🙏🏼

www.revshirleymurphy.co.uk/post/melanch...

What a moving and beautiful tribute. I am particularly moved by your words about Ringo’s gift to you, and I’m struck by your gift to Ringo — and thereby to Miranda, too.

My condolences for your loss, David. I just lost my little brother to cancer he acquired from burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan. I know losing a sibling is nothing compared to a child but, as I’m sure you know, there are millions of us on similar journeys and we should all be here for each other. ❤️

🙏💔

Every loss matters. My sympathy to you and yours.

I'm sorry for your loss. However Mr Frum was a HUGE cheerleader for the conflict in which your brother served.

I am aware. It doesn’t mean he deserved to lose someone. We can disagree enthusiastically about policy without wishing harm on each other’s families. Just because others lack humanity doesn’t mean we need to as well.

Deepest sympathy for your loss.

Thank you for this.

hi mr David Frum, nice to see your post even though it's pop up to me and we don't know each others, but hope we can being friends, and share life story togethers, If you don't mind

Thank you for sharing this. We have a similar story in our family that involves a dog and a sudden passing. Heartfelt condolences.

May her memory always be for blessing.

I gasped. So sorry. Your feeling is so beautiful.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful article. May Miranda's memory bless you always.

Hey David. If you happen to see Scott Jennings, Would you be so kind as to kick him full and square in the nutsack for me? Thanks in advance.

very lovely picture of your daughter and her woofer.

Thank you for sharing. It was beautiful. I am so sorry for your loss.

Heartbreaking. You have so much courage.

Yeah. Understand.

I am so sorry for your loss David.

So sorry for the loss ofyour beautiful daughter

We understand 100%

RIP sweet soul

My heartfelt condolences. The pain of those remaining in this World can not be understated Health is underrated and often overlooked. May her legacy provide strength for those still fighting for life

There was no need for mentioning Hamas, but otherwise beautifully written article. My condolences. Palestinians have children too.

I've followed everything you write for many years, David. Your writing about Miranda is, undoubtedly your most beautiful and poignant piece. I share with you your deep beauty and grief about this very beautiful soul. I send your family condolences and love.

So sorry for your family.

Thank you for sharing, what a beautiful memoir… 💔💗

My sister's daughter, Brooke, also died suddenly, almost 3 years ago. I don't know how she and you can do it, to be honest with you. I hope you have some notion of the high regard countless strangers have for you. As for your horrific loss, words will never suffice. 💔

I am very sorry for your loss

So sorry for your family's loss.

What an absolutely wonderful young woman she was. What a tragedy. A beautiful tribute From her dad. So sorry for your loss.

Somehow, having read this, my life is enriched—in the midst off sorrow and love. Thank you.

💔

A beautiful memoir, her memory is a blessing.

♥️

Im so sorry Mr Frum.

Heartbreaking and beautiful tribute. Bless Ringo and Assistant #2.

As a parent who lost my adult son suddenly, I share the special grief that those who bury a child understand, a club no one wants to join. Your beautiful column touched me on many levels. I’m glad Miranda left Ringo to comfort you. I hope you find peace.

Deepest sympathy for your loss

Thank you.

What a beautiful essay, and a heartbreaking loss. May her memory be a blessing to you and your family.

❤️

I am so very sorry for your loss.

I’m late to this, but I’ve enjoyed your perspectives for many years. I lost track of you when I left Twitter. I’m happy to reconnect, but I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. My condolences to you and your family.

Very lovely memoir. Thank you. Deepest condolences.

David, thank you for being able to continue to communicate with us all so wonderfully while you endured this horrible grief no parent should have to live through! As a Canadian, I’m so proud you’re one of us! ❤️🇨🇦 I loved this piece on tariffs! I hope PM Carney has you in his close circle of advisors!

David, we belong to the same shitty club that nobody wants to be a part a member. I am so sorry, I hope you can find a way forward.

Thank you for the gift, which it truly is.

Thank you for the gift of reading this beautiful tribute to your daughter.

This is beautiful. I am sorry you lost your beautiful daughter.

Oh my heavens what a beautiful and painful tribute.

I didn't know you lost a daughter. My condolences. I know what this is like. I truly do. Just followed you and Nat.

I am sorry for your loss.

🇨🇦🇺🇦💔 I apologize, David. I hadn’t heard about the loss of your daughter until I just watched an interview with you on TVO. I could see the pain in your face & I started bawling. The best thing someone said to me was: Just accept that you will never get over it-because you won’t. So very sorry.🙏🏻

Beautiful memoir...my deepest sympathy. Glad you have Ringo. 💙

Losing a child is a parents worst nightmare. No matter how many children you have they are not interchangeable. Treasure every, sometimes difficult, moment. Grief will diminish but the memories remain.

Yes. Yes it is. Yes it’s very very very hard. You are changed forever.

"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion." ~ Unknown

I'm sad

That was such a lovely and heartbreaking memorial. I subscribe to The Atlantic so I can always pick it up, but glad to be reminded to do so.

I’m so sorry for your loss…peace and love 🫶 to you and your family

Thank you for sharing this

Thank you 🫶🏻

I'm very sorry for the loss of your daughter. ~May Flights Of Angels Sing Thee To Thy Rest.~ ✝️💜🕊💜✝️🕊✝️💜🕊

Thank you for sharing sweet memories of your painful and deeply personal loss. My sincere condolences for your family’s loss of Miranda. Your daughter must have been a truly beautiful, and wonderful light in the world.

This is beautiful, and beautifully written. Thank you for the link. I am so sorry for your loss. Having lost one of my own, I can tell you that the grief never ends, but neither do the gifts. Writing helps.

I’m so sorry. Losing a child is every parents worse fear. I hope you have found some peace.

I read it everytime you post it

Had no idea Am listening now to your NPR interview.. So sorry, David Belated ❤️ from 🇨🇦

I wept my way through your beautiful story. heartfelt condolences to you and your family. I am sorry for your tragic loss. My rescued Pomeranian-Corgi Rupert Brooke, named for the WWI era poet, is helping me weather my husband's Parkinson's. Dogs are love. Thank goodness for Ringo.

Deepest condolences David. From one County resident to another. 💚

Thank you. Our only child and her husband have just given us the gift of our 1st grandchild. In your glowing memoir I have just found the beauty of a level of love that I now feel so intensely.

David - you wrote a beautiful piece and thanks for sharing. May Miranda's memory continue to be a blessing.

Magnificent.

Sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter.

Heartbreaking journey, but beautifully told. She sounds a lot like my own 28 yr old spirited daughter & I can’t imagine the crushing loss for you and your family. It’s amazing how intuitive animals are. Thank you for sharing.

Sending my love & sympathies to you, Danielle, Nathaniel, Beatrice & Ringo. Grief is a climate where the weather can change in 5-minutes, and you spiral back thru Step 0... I imagine my beautiful Robert, b. 1989, is loving Miranda's company; two fun angels. Thank you for working, to discuss Trump...

David, this is a beautiful memoir of your baby girl, Miranda 💙 Losing our children is the most unbearable pain we will ever face. This Friday 12/20 my only child, Sammy, would be 31 if he were still here. He was taken at 13 y.o. The love for your daughter is felt deeply. Thank you for sharing.

So sorry for your loss, I can’t even imagine

I am so sorry for your loss.

I’m sorry for the loss of your son. 🫂

Thank you 💙

Wow

What a story. Thank you for sharing a painful part of your life

Assuming this post is real, I am very sorry for your loss.

I couldn’t see the whole article, just the description of the dog. I’m so sorry that you lost your daughter.😢

Beautifully written. Miranda sounds very special.

I cried after reading this and my dog jumped up on my lap to comfort me.

dogs are the best

such a sweet girl ... I'm so sorry

Thank you for sharing, David! It's every parents worst nightmare. I'm sorry but proud of your wisdom you've shared. Bless you all!

Beautiful.

Beautiful essay, David. I'm sorry you had occasion to write it.

How incredibly beautiful and touching. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. I'm sorry for your loss and may her memory be a blessing to you.

My condolences. ❤️

Thank you for sharing this journey with Miranda and Ringo.

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.?

Beautiful tribute to your precious child. My heart aches for you and your family.

Thank you for sharing this story. I’m tearing up.

A beautiful well written story. I wrote a story once that turned into one about life after death. A "spirit" told her twin sister that they can move thru time & space at the speed of light & visit places & people they love. Pets we've loved in life are there to greet us. Ringo will join here there.

Beautiful heartache. I don’t know if I could survive such a loss, but I know your estimation of Ringo’s deep connection is very real - a gift indeed.

Upper midwest, rainging ice, joined by my tears, freezing on my cheeks. So very sorry.

Thank you for sharing. Condolences 🙏

My deepest condolences to you and your family. What an absolutely beautiful tribute to your amazing daughter. I urged my mother to get a dog after my grandmother had passed to help keep her occupied. I live far away and my father and sister have both long passed. She also got a Cav King (Sophie).

Beautiful girl. I feel your pain, I lost my brother 2/22 and mother 11/22 leaving me a sole survivor of my family. Give little Ringo a hug for me.

A beautiful tribute to your daughter, David. Her memory will always be a blessing.

A beautiful love story! Thank you for sharing it.

I realized I missed your article when you first posted it. Read it today—deeply moved. My wife, an ER and palliative care doctor in Quebec, is caring for a 30 y/o cancer patient this week. Always heartbreaking, but at that age, it’s something else entirely. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Wonderful story, it brought me to tears. So sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss.

So sorry you had to join the club no one wants to be in 💔… 🕊️❤️

Thank you for sharing this beautiful, heartbreaking story of love. Your daughter sounds like she was an amazing woman.

I am very sorry for your loss. May the memory of your daughter be a blessing.

Love love love

😢❤️

There are no words, just so, so, many prayers and a gentle reminder to look for the “signs”. I can’t imagine the depth of your loss but I do know the comfort my dog gives me, after my husband died. We don’t always know when we need them, but THEY do.

My heart goes out to you 💔

I am the proud Assistant #2 to one of the most unpredictable of dogs Bodhi. I inherited him after the sudden loss of my 26-year-old son. Bodhi became the reason I got out of bed, and to this day,I’m still explaining his eccentricities. I sense a part of him is still looking for my son — just like me

🫂

🫂

Mr. Frum: I am so moved by your devotion to your late daughter. I have enormous, even angry disagreements with some of your political and policy positions. But I can’t be against love.

So sorry for your loss

tears running down my face…I’m very sorry for your loss…a beautiful tribute to your daughter who clearly gave the most important thing, love & compassion to family, friends, strangers and animals.

Miranda was a gift. Love to your family

So sorry about your loss!

I read this all the way through. Thank you for sharing your excruciating but also beautiful journey. Love to you and best boy Ringo.

This is so beautifully written and I'm so glad I read about your daughter Miranda. Peace to you and your family, and I'm sorry she's not here.

Our condolences- she loved and was well loved.

What a beautiful tribute to your daughter and Ringo.

♥️♥️♥️

This was beautiful. I am so sorry for your loss and for Ringo’s loss. How lovely that you have each other. 🫶
