Mr. Mcconnell as some of you may know, this has been a particularly time for my family. We tragically lost elaines younger Sister Angela just a few weeks ago. When you lose a loved one, particularly at a young age, theres a certain introspection that accompanies the grieving process. Perhaps it is gods way of reminding you of your own lifes journey to prioritize the impact of the world that we will all inevitably leave behind. I turned 82 last week. The end of my contributions are closer than id prefer. My career in the United States senate began amidst the reagan revolution. The truth is, when i got here i was just happy if anybody remembered my name. President reagan called me mitch odonald. Close enough, i thought. My wife elaine and i got married on president reagans birthday, february 6. Its probably hot the not the most romantic thing to admit, but reagan meant a lot to both of us. For 31 years elaine has been the love of my life and im eternally grateful to have her by my side.
