Ted Kennedy, a faithful light in our national window. Glad he saw this day
My wayward daughter asked last night: What is Ted Kennedy thinking tonight?

I cried.

What indeed.

Thanks Senator, for NEVER giving up when so many of us were close to throwing in the towel.

Thanks, Senator, for the roar that got us to keep moving so many times when despair threatened to stop us in our tracks.

Thinking back to news film of water hoses, axe handles, dogs all turned on my countrymen.

Thanks, Ted. For keeping hope alive as they took so much from you and yours. Thanks for never letting the ugliness win.

So many people to be grateful for.

4. This Canadian has always found Sen. Kennedy
a beautiful, admirable man; a man to keep going and to keep fighting no matter what they did to him and his.

I'm glad he lived to see Barack Obama become president, and I hope he continues to fight; the US needs him, and the world needs him.
