A Class Act

edwards.jpg

The news of Elizabeth Edwards' cancer relapse is unbearably sad. No mother who has had to bury a child (her son Wade died at age 16) should have to suffer through more tragedy. This woman is a class act -- from her legal career, to her parenting of kids ages 25, 9 and 7, to her marriage and partnership with husband (and presidential candidate) John Edwards and her first battle with breast cancer. If you haven't yet, check out her best-selling book Saving Graces. It is truly inspiring. Here's wishing her well.

Oh, and yes, I think John Edwards should stay in the presidential race. The story in today's New York Times says the couple made the decision together, without influence of aides and advisors. Only Mrs. Edwards knows whether she can handle a campaign along with her treatment. More power to her if indeed she can.
