Ted Kennedy

I doubt there is any one who hasn’t heard of Senator Ted Kennedy’s passing. He’ll be sorely missed and I suppose that after 77 years, Kennedy just didn’t have it in him to continue raging against the dying light.

There have been so many great articles and posts written about Kennedy's life already, that I don’t really feel need to say too much myself.

However, I do want to say that Ted Kennedy is proof that even good people make mistakes and that those mistakes needn’t be the summation of a person’s entire life. Far from perfect, Kennedy showed how we can all rise above our past failures, not matter how big they may be, and make a difference in the world.

I can't help but feel we've lost something precious in this passing. Rest in peace Mr. Kennedy.
