I join my colleague from Illinois in expressing our concerns about the junior Senator from Illinois, Senator Kirk, who, unfortunately, suffered a medical incident, has had surgery, and is now recovering in Chicago. We know once again we are reminded that life is short and it is fragile. It could happen to any one of us or our families or anyone we care about and love. I know all of us extend our sympathy and our well wishes to Senator Kirk as he begins his convalescence and recovery from this surgery and this medical incident that he has experienced. ____________________
