Oprah: Elizabeth Edwards, Thursday

Interesting high-profile interview on "Oprah" this Thursday: Elizabeth Edwards. This is, the show informs, a TV first.
Here's one take-away quote, or two:
Winfrey: Is it a day by day thing?
Edwards: Neither one of us is out the door so I guess it's day by day, but
maybe it's month by month.
Winfrey: So you are still living together?
Edwards: Still living together.
Winfrey: Are you still in love with him?
Edwards: You know, that's a complicated question.
On the former mistress' baby:
Winfrey: The other woman has a baby.
Edwards: That's what I understand.
Winfrey: And there is great speculation that your husband, John Edwards, is
the father of that baby.
Edwards: That's what I understand. I've seen a picture of the baby. I have
no idea. It doesn't look like my children but I don't have any idea.
Winfrey: You must have thought is it or is it not?
The conversation continues in the June issue of O, The Oprah Magazine:
On the other woman:
Edwards: This person is very different from me, and really very different from
him. We're basically old-fashioned people. So, this was a pretty big leap for
him. Maybe it's being so different is what was attractive.
On her own mortality:
Edwards: It's not as frightening. If there's an ever after—please, please,
please—I would be leaving part of my family, but I can do and join another
party, and wait for that day when we're all together again. In some ways it's
something you yearn for.

Speaking as a grown child that is referred to in this column
as a "love child" that would be me ..that found this fact out at
age 48 years old..believed a lie until that point. I would like to
go on record as saying this. I am so sorry that so many adults
here are hurt-I see only two innocent people, Ms. Edwards and
the other innocent person is the child.
So much hurt, but the two that are hurt the most is Ms. Edwards
and the child.
