This is one of the mysteries of life I am still trying to figure out. It just makes everything else seem so trivial in comparison.

Maybe that's it, to help show us that loving each other the best we know how and caring for each other is really the secret of life. Everything else is just petty.

Tony did die young, but he really, really lived. He was an instrument for God's love and kindness on Earth.

Tony's email to Mike Emanuel on the birth of his daughter:

“Let's just say that the emotional development of the girl is far more complex and involved than the emotional development of the boys...and that you will spend considerable time in years to come listening to your wife and daughter talk about the travails of girldom...only to find yourself slack-jawed with incomprehension, trying to nod appreciatively while saying to yourself, “Whuh??? I don't understand any of this!!”

I heard the news this morning and was taken aback. A good man with a unique character. I pray for G-d’s peace and strength for his family and friends. Enjoy the Kingdom, Tony.

Did you hear Mike? He mentioned one of the funniest lines Tony use to use.

Remember when he was talking about having to reprimand his son and his son would say WHHHHHAAAATTT???

Andy Card saying that for Tony, every day was the greatest day of his life! Tony had such a glow; no, it was more like a searchlight! And that light will never be dimmed.

Indeed we all need to learn from Tony of how to disagree in humility and with a smile on our face.

I want to add that none of us exist in a vacuum, for better or worse, all our actions affect others. Tony seemed to choose the path of “better.” That’s what I mean he was an instrument of God (I didn’t want it to sound like I was deifying him).

That was a priceless email to Mike from Tony.
I hope they print and have it available on FNC.
Tony’s ever uniquely comical take on having girls
and boys and the differences.

Just sent this comment to the Washington Post comments regarding Tony.

I've taken some time to read the comments posted here. Thought you all might want to read a few lines that Tony Snow wrote in March of 2008 on a forum I post at. He was talking of death and those you leave behind.

"One consoles as one can; with love and steadfastness. The purpose of consolation is not to proclaim judgment; that’s someone else’s job. In times of grief, one gives one’s heart to another, in ways that will provide solace rather than pain — to embrace, them, help them and support them. Paul notes that one needs to be all things to all people in practicing one’s faith. And in times of grief, one must be a selfless friend."

I suspect Tony would say to those of us who are grieving. Tears are fine, but after the tears remember me with smiles and laughter.

Bless you, Miss Didi! It was totally priceless and a keeper. Tony had such a gift for always finding the right words in every situation; they truly came from his heart.

And now I really have to take a break to start dinner!
