John McCain, 81, died Saturday, just one day after his family announced his decision to end medical treatment for brain cancer.
His daughter, Meghan McCain, praised her father and said she was with him when he passed.
“My father is gone, and I miss him as only an adoring daughter can,” McCain said in a statement posted to Twitter. “But in this loss, and in this sorrow, I take comfort in this: John McCain, hero of the republic and to this little girl, wakes today to something more glorious than anything on this earth. Today the warrior enters his true and eternal life, greeted by those who have gone before him, rising to meet the Author of All Things: ‘The dream is ended, this is the morning.’”
Meghan McCain said the task of her lifetime “is to live up to his example, his expectations and his loss.”
