This May Seem Trivial - Elizabeth Edwards |
|
I was watching KO tonight. In the intro to the show, they show a clip of Elizabeth Edwards talking about how there are times we find that our circumstances change....and that we must move forward.
At the very end of her statement, she drops her head...her eyes cast down.
For reasons I cannot explain, I shed a tear. You could see in her expression the totality of her circumstance and how she was trying to put a good face on it.
I don't think I have ever read so much in a single expression from a simple gesture.
It will repeat...try and watch.
Sorry...for whatever reason, it meant something to me.

It's a beautiful thing, and there is so little of it left in the world.

7. I think it is a real beutiful gift to not think about that. |
|
Always thinking about what can be done, not what could have been done.

And it broke my heart. No need to be sorry! It was profound and I appreciate your acknowledgment of it.

11. I watched KO tonight. |

I missed that look, but I think I'm glad I did, as I'm bawling enough as it is.
What a classy lady. RIP, Elizabeth. You will be missed.
