Elizabeth Edwards – Quite a Woman
My eyes stare at the computer or television screen whenever I see Elizabeth Edwards. I often think she’s been dealt an unfair deck of life. She has breast cancer and her husband’s adultery helped caused their 32 year marriage to fall apart.
I don’t stare at her because she’s sick, but rather because her spirit is still very strong. Although her husband was not my pick for a president, I watched her during the campaigning. She knew her cancer had returned, but she continued to urge her husband to run for president. A less strong woman would have called it quits.
When her husband’s affair came and all the nastiness came out, Elizabeth Edwards continued on and now she just wants to break free from the image of being John Edwards’ wife whose been wrong. She said,“I’m not just a cuckolded wife.” She’ strong and full of hope.
Cate Edwards, Elizabeth and John’s 28 year old daughter must be very proud of her strong mother. I imagine the last few years have been quite a rollercoaster for her as well.I am looking forward to reading Elizabeth Edwards book Resilience this summer.
“In the end, there is peace. If we are strong. If we are resilient. If we are stubborn and filled with hope. If we know how to love. There is peace before that, too. And honestly, that is enough.” ~ Elizabeth Edwards
