1. Bless her heart!
Man, what she's been through. A true role model. I'm glad she's stepping forward. We need her most eloquent voice to be heard.

11. She Must Be One Incredible Lady
Everyone marveled at how Chris endured all those years, but she was the one that had to hold it all together. Having cared for an invalid parent I know the 24/7 fears and strains having to be the arms, legs & many times the hopes of these people and how that takes a toll.

Here's hoping she's begining her healing and adjusting to returning to "the life of the living"...and feeling some satisfaction that she did all she could and stayed true.

Honestly, I'm not into politicizing the Reeve tragedy, there are plenty of living examples, plus Ronald Raygun that serves our purposes as well. I'm glad she's coming forward, it means she must have something to say.

Cheers!

3. Was there a funeral?
I haven't heard anything about funeral or memorial service. Did I miss it?

4. Whoa.
She's going to make Chris' death count and count heavily.

Then maybe a man will be able to fall off a horse, or a motorcycle, or get shot in a firefight, and walk again.

9. Nah. The way he lived it did that.
But if we'd been on the ball, maybe he would have walked before he died.

10. Does the News Media Know About This?
Will they cover it? If so, how will they portray it?

It seems big to me, but so did the "Four Moms from NJ" 9/11 widows endorsement of Kerry, and that barely got any media attention.

14. Can't be easy for her.. which makes her contribution all the more valuable
... and crucial.

This election really is life or death to so many different people.

Thank you, Dana!!!
