this is a tough night. we mark one year of our nightmare collectively, right? here at cnn and our family, it s not just tough because what we ve all lived through with covid. the president was right. we need to be the answer for one another, and that is brought home in such painful variety today. yeah, it s a year for all of us. but there s something else today should have been. today would also have been the first birthday for a very special little girl to us, francesca, known forever as beans. that s what they called her. the daughter of our dear friend and colleague, the brain behind the k-file, investigative genius. his wife, rachel, beans smiled bravely in the face of another health monster, a rare form of brain cancer. she fought. they fought. they moved. they did everything. they believed. they loved. inspired all of us. with what they were clear eyed and committed to. she didn t make it. she fought. she died on christmas eve. i remember it. i remember hearing about it
