Elizabeth Edwards lost her battle with cancer yesterday.
She never lost her battle to be a decent, compassionate, caring person. Which is a lot more than I can say about her husband.
We would all do well to model just a little bit of our lives after this woman who faced such incredible hurdles in life, who never lost her composure, nor her positive outlook. She wanted to remain strong, for her family and in particular for her four kids.
Unfortunately, I’m not nearly as good a person as Elizabeth Edwards.
I can’t get past her husband, and what he did.
Elizabeth Edwards was married to John Edwards, the one-time U.S. Senator from North Carolina, Democratic vice presidential candidate, and potential candidate for president.
As Elizabeth Edwards was battling for her life, fighting a recurrence of the cancer that would take her life, she was dealt an even more staggering blow by her husband.
He had been unfaithful, and he had lied about it. While his wife was in the fight of her life, he was having a dalliance with a former campaign staffer that resulted in a child.
Sometimes I wonder just how low people can go. I suppose I would be better served by thinking of just how valiant people can be.
John and Elizabeth Edwards gave us examples of both.
