Rest in Peace Senator Kennedy

What can I say that hasn’t already been said about this man? Forgive me for trying. I believe the world is a better place because of him. It’s interesting how greatness seems to come from those whom we least expect. When I was young I didn’t care for the man. I changed my political views over time, becoming more liberal, but he didn’t. He was steadfast. As the years went by I grew to appreciate what he stood for and how effective he was; unwavering in his convictions; always fighting the good fight and winning more than not. They say no one is indispensable, but for now there is a void. For now anyway, there is no Senator to pick up the mantle for the liberal cause and carry on as he did.

Rest in peace Senator Kennedy.
