Elizabeth and John Edwards today announced that her cancer has returned and is in stage four. Which is bad. They also announced that Senator John Edwards will continue his campaign for the presidency.
I so admire this decision. I know it must be terribly hard, but can you imagine if your dying act was to rob your husband of his deepest ambition—your shared ambition? Of a chance to make a real difference for the American people? Perhaps, looking mortality in the face, she sees more than ever how important it is to keep going.
Whatever is in her head and heart, my admiration is tremendous and my healing thoughts are heading her way.
