(Omitting all the shady business him and his family did in Politics, and his personal affairs).<br /><br />It's sad to see someone so devoted, someone who moved mountains (and a recent election) pass away.SYDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09243315812919888676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27165670.post-65360430036795478402009-08-27T22:46:23.572-04:002009-08-27T22:46:23.572-04:00This was a very touching testament to a man you ad...This was a very touching testament to a man you admired... and I love the photo of you and your mom, such joy in your eyes, compared to the tears you spoke of here.<br /><br />love to you,<br />(((hugs))),<br />mePixieDusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14255641743057365106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27165670.post-70391191891391339222009-08-27T22:13:41.253-04:002009-08-27T22:13:41.253-04:00He was a good man with great power who used it wis...He was a good man with great power who used it wisely according to his convictions. His sense of right and wrong was keen. Let us hope he won't be the last lion to roar in the Senate. He was a great senator not becuase he represented Massachusetts but because he represented people from all walks of life in this nation. He is one of the reasons America is great.

I woke up to the news of Senator Kennedy's death, and it made me feel a bit bereft all day. I think that what I am reacting to, like many others, is the loss of another American Touchstone.
