I'm So Sad...

After everything she went through, I was really cheering for Elizabeth Edwards. I'm so sad that she wasn't able to overcome the cancer.

It never concerned me that she was very much a democrat or how very silly her husband was. I never even paid any mind to what she believed politically, though I know there were some things she said I heartily disagreed with. What I admired about her was how she carried herself with grace in the midst of such adversity and betrayal in the middle of a swarming media storm...

And I had been cheering for her. After it was discovered that her worthless man-whore of a husband not only had an affair but fathered a child, I had been hoping that she would win the fight, maybe even so well that she could become a valid and respectable, formidable political opponent. The ultimate victory over her disease and her husband: A champion for women and democrats who everyone would respect.

Not that she wasn't that already, but it would have been great if she could have miraculously beaten it. :(

Rest in peace, Mrs. Edwards. I hope she's with her son, now.

Excuse me for saying this but where the HELL was I when this happened? I thought she was still alive!!!!! She really was a great woman for putting up with her husband and she stuck by what she believed in no matter. At least she's free and resting in peace finally.

It just happened yesterday; you've probably seen the flags at half staff today. Very sad development, but she had been prepared for the eventuallity.
