The Graham Family Story: How Lindsey Became Darline's Guardian
At 15:04 · chapter starts 13:15
The appointment of Darline Graham Nordone to her brother's Senate seat carried a depth of meaning that went far beyond political succession. [1] — Mark Halperin "When their mother died in 1976 and their father followed just 15 months later, a young Lindsey Graham stepped up as his 13-year-old sister …" 13:12 Their mother died from cancer in 1976, and their father suffered a fatal heart attack just fifteen months later, leaving a 13-year-old Darline effectively orphaned while Lindsey was beginning law school. Rather than leaving her behind, Graham became her legal guardian, regularly traveling home to check on her while she stayed with relatives. He later formally adopted her so she could qualify for his military benefits — an act that speaks to the intimacy and responsibility of their bond. Darline told NPR in 2015: 'Lindsey wrapped his arms around me and promised me he would always be there for me and always take care of me.' She went on to earn a master's degree in rehabilitation counseling, worked as an optician, and served in several South Carolina state agencies. Now, she carries his Senate seat forward — the culmination of a life that Lindsey Graham made possible.
