I was saddened to read about Elizabeth Edwards’ death yesterday. But only momentarily.
For this remarkable woman epitomized resilience and strength. Life dealt her blow after crippling blow. The death of a child. Stage Four cancer. The revelation that her husband was a philanderer. Public humiliation as he first lied about his affair with Ms. Man Hunter…oops…Rielle Hunter, then admitted he had fathered her child.
Yet Elizabeth accepted it with equanimity and grace. Refused to be a victim. Smiled for the cameras. Kicked out her cheating husband instead of being a doormat. Wrote a book. Moved on with life, her head held high.
You don’t mourn the passing of a woman like that. You applaud as the curtain comes down.
Bravo, Elizabeth Edwards.
She was a special lady for sure. Poor thing- had more than her share of knocks.
thanks
A woman with spirit and grace. She just deserved better.
