- In a column for the Atlantic, David Frum writes about losing his daughter Miranda, and about her last gift to the family: her mischievous dog, Ringo. #CNN #News
I had no idea. I'm a father of daughters, and I just wanted to tell you I'm so very sorry. FYI, I'm a Democrat/independent, and it never crossed my mind writing this before I watched the entire video. My heart hurts for you as it would anyone. I've watched you on the news for many years. Hang in there, my friend. All the best to you and your family.
I just saw this interview of David from on CNN’s website about his daughter Miranda and her dog Ringo. I’ve always respected David’s point of view and it was such a lovely interview. I don’t know the woman who interviewed him, but she was absolutely terrific.
Oh, yeah man! I wanted to write this too the first time I saw her. Absolutely gorgeous! Such a warm and beautiful interview.
Believe interviewer is Bianna Golodryga...
Brianna Golddigger is a very compassionate interviewer, as are most people of IT descent. Even IT males wear their emotions on their sleeves. The way IT people use their hands to "talk" is funny as h3ll, but that is how expressive they are. And Ms. Golddigger is kind of easy on the eyes as well. I think I want an IT for a wife. Yum yum.
What a wonderful interviewer. What a special Dad. What a beautiful doggie. ❤
And his beautiful Daughter.
David Frum has always moved me with his words, but this utterly cracked my heart open. I’m so sorry for Miranda’s loss. You’ve done her a beautiful honor.
Beautiful comment from the father, beautiful words ....."by taking care what was important to them".
Could not agree more. Such powerful words.
My deepest condolences to David Frum and his family. Thanks so much for this interview.
Maybe it Is not true , he says at the behguining , experiment , maybe it s fake
So sorry, as one who lost my son over one year, some days I am so broken. Feel your pain it is tough.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your son.
Wishing you peace and healing, sending you ❤
John MacVane, a war correspondent during WWII, wrote in his memoir about his infant son, Miles. Born in London during the blitz, the baby developed kidney cancer and died in his seventh month. There in besieged London, in the midst of the greatest war in history, the MacVanes buried their little boy, and had inscribed on his stone these words: “There is not enough darkness in the whole world to put out the light of one small candle.” Milo still shines in the darkness, and so does Miranda, forever.
Beautiful pain, man! Thank you!
It’s that DAMN 5 year mark! Our family has had a similar experience. I’m sending my sincere condolences.
No parent, no matter where they are, should ever have to bury a child. It's an abomination and leaves a wound that never heals. 🥺
God’s plan. WTF?
My Mother lost my only sibling at the age of 78. My brother, her baby was 37. The grief was enormous. She developed Alzeheimers, and the last years of her life when she could talk, she referred to him as one of her Cousins and that was a blessing.
@@Andrey_Khaustov1480 WTF.
@@Andrey_Khaustov1480Stop it! Go take your medication. You write the same non-sensical comment in reply to each comment. Stop it!
Iraqi families too?
I so f*ckin' HATE cancer! My sister was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My boss's wife - a wonderful lady - passed away from it 5 days ago. Sigh.
I'm going to donate a chunk of cash to the Canadian Cancer Society.
Condolences, Mr. Frum. May your daughter RIP.
The love of a dog is everything.
And a cat!
@@MarkRaymondLuce Yes!!! 🐾
Non sense
An chicken!
Everything ???? ..... what a shameless comment. During the Viet Nam war ... satirist Mort Sahl said that the war would be over in weeks if Selective Service needed to recruit the family dog instead of the family son. You are just who he meant. I may not want my son to die... but RISK my DOG.???? Then the War ends.
Davids bravery to do this is unreal. As a father l have no idea how he had the strength to do this.
Cyber war . Propaganda . FBI ...
He had the strength to write lies for Bush leading to thousands of parents around the world losing their kids .
What a beautiful interview. I am so so sorry for your loss, and grateful for the skillful, compassionate presenter who talked to you about it. Writing this through tears. Might have to put the dog on a diet though.
My husband passed last year and I fostered a cat shortly after, Bruno. Could not have made it without him. I'm so sorry for you're loss
My deepest condolences to David and family. May Miranda's memory be a blessing!
So sorry to all who love Miranda. Death does not end love. Thank you for taking Ringo. He will bring you love unconditionally. He's adorable. What a sad and beautiful story. To Mr. Frum and his wife and Ringo, my most sincere and deepest condolences.🎉
What a beautiful and heartbreaking interview. 💔
I am so sorry to learn about the death of the daughter of David Frum and his wife. She was obviously an amazing woman. I am a Canadian who listened to David's mother, Barbara Frum, on CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) radio for many years. She was an amazing journalist; I can still hear her distinct voice. It means alot that David and his wife are caring and loving their daughter's pup. While dogs are quite a responsibility and can be a real handful at times (I speak from experience) , David and his wife will reap loving rewards from caring for their daughters dog. They are intuitive little creatures and will help with the Frum's healing over time. My deepest sympathy for their loss.💔
I hadn’t made that connection to Barbara Frum. What a sad story, I’m glad they’re finding a bit of comfort from their dog.
Thank you for sharing the loss of Miranda and love of Ringo.
Beautiful. Sympathies to the family. I always loved listening to David's Mom Barbara Frum as a journalist. She was also a real professional.
So so sorry! Just precious to have a part of his daughter with him. I believe she’s smiling at her dad and her pup! Impossible to see this with a dry eye. He’s right….empathy for each other is so important!
David and family, I am so so sorry 😢. I am Canadian, and I grew up listening to your Mom. I have great respect for her and cried when she died. I am crying again now for your terrible loss. I wiil light a candle for all of you. ❤ Peace.
I can't even imagine.
"Imagine Dragons"
What helped me during immense grief was turning it into a higher purpose. After my Dad died, I adopted numerous rescue dogs now that I live alone. And when the nation lost the beloved Barbaro we got into ending horse slaughter. I now donate and try to educate people of ending the dog and horse meat trade as well as raising awareness of adopting and not shopping for dogs. It really helps of having something to wake up for.
🙏💓
We can't explain the connection we have to our fur, feathered, and non human love. I know for sure we are all one.
My sincerest condolences to David Frum and his family. I m so very sorry to learn this news.
My deepest condolences. I've also lost a child and other younger family members to cancer. I've listened to you for many years and respected your opinions even when I disagreed with you. What we hold in common as parents who love our children gives us more in common than any political stance. My best to you and your family.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful child. My family lost our niece five years ago. She left behind her 15 year old Doberman Kobe. Kobe came and lived with me for the last year of her life. She was such a old soul. I was her second hand person and it was a gift to have her. It made me feel close to my niece
as a mental health therapist, the most heartbreaking clients to work with are those who child has passed away.. the pain is so great and in some ways never-ending; the child is gone but the love remains eternal. talking about it, leaning on loved ones, and being creative like writing, painting, walking in nature...they all help to heal and survive. my heart goes out to all the parents who had a child who has died ♥️
I'm so sorry David for the loss of your daughter, what a beautiful young lady. Rip Miranda, you will truly be missed, you have a wonderful father and your dog is so cute. So sad
This was such a beautifully moving conversation, despite this also being so sad. I look forward to reading the article.
I’m sorry. I am an RN in Hawaii and recently was diagnosed with my second type of cancer in a year. I think in a way it’s harder on my husband than it is for me. Just get checked early everyone! Please. That’s what I am trying to do. We need real universal healthcare including dental. Please vote accordingly. Thanks.
My prayers and best wishes are with you and your family. Thank you so much for serving in your profession. You are appreciated! Universal health and dental care are necessities.
I'm voting for Trump...
@@bigsexxy1show some respect or get lost.
Praying for you, Cancer is so Nasty. I hope you make a quick recovery. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@bigsexxy1
Don't brag about your choice, when the woman who has cancer requests universal health care for everyone. Trump will do everything to prevent that.
God Bless you...... I wish you and your family peace. I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story with us. You are brave!
God Bless you all. I am crying watching this. What a wonderful gift you gave Miranda in Ringo and now he is a gift to you and your wife, ; a connection to your amazing daughter.
Heartbreaking, my deepest condolences to your family. 😢❤
CNN must be devastated their network is dead
If that Is the truth , and if it Is , it Is a persenel matter
Deepest condolences to Mr. Frum..

OH, NO!! I just hear about this. I met David Frum's mother and Miranda's grandmother.
The beloved Canadian journalist Barbara Frum. She came to my hometown to appear at the
university here. I went up and said hello afterward and had a lovely chat with her.
If Miranda is anything like her grandmother this is a terrible loss of a wonderful (young) woman.
She also passed away too young.
David Frum is SO COURAGEOUS to talk about the loss of his daughter...years don't help the grief... GRIEF---Grief is the last act of love we give to our loved one. Where there is deep grief there is great love. Grief is a great rite of passage, it is a hero's journey of courage, of sacred battles, sorrow, love, joy and loss. Through the darkness of grief, we can see the light of love which transcends death. And with the pain can come gratitude for the gift of time we had, the love that was shared and the power to become a better person because they loved us". (Contributed by Chaplin Robert Orr - Kindred Hospice)... David Frum also lost his mother , Barbara Frum..a brilliant journalist..
What beautiful words ❤️
Oh my goodness I'm so sorry to hear about this. My deepest sympathies to David Frum and his family. My heart aches for them. 😔🙏😇 Ringo is such a cutie pie, having a dog is the best thing in the world.❤️🐾
**sobs** as any grown man should - even if I'm a cat person... 😿
🥹😸. Wise words...nothing wrong with admitting you have feelings. Family,pets,close friend...its basically all the same.You never get used to losing one of them.
So sorry your beautiful daughter had to leave so soon! She sounds like a force that maybe deep down knew her time was short. Miranda is still very much alive and you will be together again, she left you company Ringo, and it looks like you two are the best of friends.
My heart aches with yours. I am so sorry for your loss. I reach out with love all the way from NZ - you have touched the world with your words. Good luck with Ringo - you both need each other. My love to assistant No1 too.
Oh my goodness....this is the first I am hearing about this. My deepest condolences to him. As a Canadian, I was a big fan of Barbara Frum. I am so so sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss. Your family now including adorable Ringo will go on together and remember her wonderful memory! 💔🙏🌹
Dogs are a beautiful gift from God. So sorry for your loss. Ringo is such a loyal friend. ❤
We all have our roles to play, tragedy strikes every single one of them. I do take comfort that she lived an amazing life, in the time allotted her. My condolences.
Yeah I always loved her 😢
What role did David play in the murder of thousands of children at the hands of Bush in the middle east ?
I love Ringo - I wish you and your family condolences and blessings of peace and love ✌️♥️
Brilliant piece. Thank you so much. Mr. Frum I began my admiration of your family with your mother. She, too, was a wonderful writer. Deepest condolences.
Thank you David, for sharing your story with us. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember the moment when I heard CBC announced the passing of your mom. Now I hear you talk about the passing of your beautiful daughter. I will always remember this moment. My deepest condolence to your family.
So very sorry for the loss of their precious daughter. Ringo
Will always be a sweet reminder of the unconditional love. Blessings and condolences to you.
This has got to be the most gut wrenching event ever for the family and for poor Ringo! But what a beautiful tribute and a wonderful way to channel grief through Ringo. We often underestimate the role that pets can play during times of grief but they are wonderful beings being who they just are!
My heart breaks for you as I have a daughter the same age. I am glad you were left with Miranda’s dog. May you find some comfort in taking care of something your daughter so loved.
May her memory be a blessing
Wonderful interview, beautiful family and not forgetting the loyal amazing Ringo!! UK 🇬🇧 Best wishes
I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter.
Sending love to Mr. & Mrs. Frum and their family. What a beautiful person Miranda was.
Kudos to Bianna Golodryga for so well conducting this very moving interview on such a difficult subject.
I am so sorry that your family has to cope with this loss.
I lost my daughter to cancer few yrs ago.pain and sadness stays forever.
❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾
I am sorry for your loss.❤💐🎀
He mentions , experiment , therefore , maybe , it Is fake news
RIP, prayers for her father.
Ringo is a good boy.
I watched and listened to this moving interview on Amanpour and Company/PBS, and appreciate finding it here to revisit and share. Thank you for inviting David Frum, and to Ringo and Assistants 1 and 2 for being here so openly. Miranda obviously was an inspiration but, more importantly, their daughter...Ringo's person.
I’m so very sorry for your loss.
You are a beutiful spirit David !
So sorry for your loss. Heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. I don't think politics should be involved nor religion for that matter. As a fellow human being we are here to care for one another.
Lost my granddaughter at 100 days old to a careless caretaker. She smothered. The worst pain in my life. I thought. 7 months later, my son ( her uncle) died. The pain was too familiar, more intense. I am forever broken.
This discussion left me so choked up. Can't send a card to Ringo's family, but on the off-chance that they scroll: condolences from Vancouver BC. Life is awful; life is beautiful. We look ahead and dogs are a major support. Love Mr. Frum's truth and humor; and love (I'm assuming) Mrs. Frum's bribing the Imperial Paw. The cycle of life continues.
Im so sorry. Big David Frum fan
Awe. I'm so sorry. So many people have such grief to bear. And SUCH an honor, a gift, to take care of the dog that was so important to his daughter!
So sorry. Sending prayers.💙
I am so sorry for your loss of this beautiful Light
You Are so naiiif
Mr Frum, I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter Miranda. Our family can so feel your grief, as our lovely daughter died of a brain tumour too, at age 33. May your family find comfort in celebrating and remembering her life.
Came across this quote somewhere on UA-cam a while ago and wrote it down because it was appropriate for me at the time....Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened! What a lovely interview!!
🙏 and Love of her doggie 💔
This is so incredibly touching. Sending love and healing to this family.
Wonderful interview. That dog has spirit, he learned well from your daughter. Best wishes for peace.
I’m so sorry David for your and your family’s loss of your beautiful daughter/sister Miranda❤️
I understand somewhat, I lost my son David at age 19. Sending love across the miles from New Zealand. My dog Nell is with me after a recent mastectomy, she stays by my side and seems to know so much, she is such a comfort ❤️🙏🇳🇿🇨🇦
I am so heartbroken for David and his family. You are all are in my thoughts and prayers. A friend told me once, after I lost someone very special..” someday the pain you feel from your loss will slowly fade and will be replaced by beautiful memories “
Aww she is adorable 🤩🥰.
David, Our hearts reach out to your entire family. I am so so very sorry.
He Is so sure in himself , allmost arroguant
I met Miranda in La with her freind and roommate Natalie . She was a very special ! I am so very sorry for your loss !
My sister-in-law died of lung cancer a 10 years ago and she left her dear labrador Bill Bailey with her husband. He was the sweetest lab in the world and was so gentle with her the entire time. He lived for another 3 years...sweet Bill Bailey.❤❤❤
Thank you for teaching U.S. how to deal w/problems & Overwhelming Grief.
Heart breaking, thanks for sharing your stories and prayers and blessings to you and your family! I’m in awe with your strength 🙏🏼
That's the greatest act you can do for a passed on loved one - take in their pet, don't drop them off at a shelter. Thank you! ❤🐕🙏💫🌱💥🌎
Thank you so much for sharing this. It really helps to put in perspective the daughter parent relationship. This helps so much- to see these parents perspective of their daughter´s life.
One of the few fathers that really cares about their daughters/children and then they lose them so early. 😥
Mine didn't give af.
I’m so sorry for you!
@Happy_Bnzo_Puppy
There are countless
fathers that love and care for their children, and grandchildren. Your bitterness from your personal experience is clouding your judgement.
Condolences to all your family
Deepest condolences 🙏
Great interview. Thank you to this interviewer who was compassionate and allowed the real humanity of this story to shine. And thank you to such a brave father for sharing this story.
Ringo a beautiful dog. He not interest being perfect. But he know he closer than most. Weakness for cheese and he sit in dad's lap. We get to see the saddest dog in the world, up close. I normally only see Bianna, on trip. I delay trip a week. I still see her. Great story.
David and family (including Ringo), I am so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you at this very difficult time.
Absolutely beautiful heart wrenching interview 😭💔🐶🙏❤️.
Tribalism is brushed aside uniquely when it comes to the sense of welfare for our politically unaffiliated pets.

Beautiful piece!
Hahah, too cute. He's not a model citizen. I have "a source of strength, too." Much respect.
Miranda has left a piece of herself for her parents. Ringo is absolutely perfect in every way but especially so because he keeps them so busy with his high maintenance and antics. God bless the Frum family and may he give them the strength to handle their loss.
I loved LOVED loved this article. It took me 5 tries to get a free trial subscription to The Atlantic, but after reading the first two paragraphs I had to keep trying. It was worth it. I love Ringo too now. So glad to see him in the video.
