Strange how you can wish all sorts of terrible things upon someone who has almost single-handedly destroyed the country and then you hear about something like this and you remember what your grandmother told you about not saying anything if you have nothing nice to say, so..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
But there are numerous reasons not to speak ill will in a situation like this. None of us would wish this on an enemy, and we fear it for ourselves and our loved ones. We would prefer to beat the Democrats in the realm of ideas. None of us would want to sit down with the senator or his family right now. Our words would be insufficient. But I'm sure we all would wish his family well.
Many years ago, a man betrayed me in an important area of life. A short time later, his wife was diagnosed with lung cancer. I prayed for her and communicated with the family. She ultimately died. I drove 240 miles to her funeral, not knowing how I would be received. What happened before no longer seemed important.
There is never a sufficient reason to enjoy the agony of another human being. I was saddened by this news, if for no other reason that I'm a thirty year removed former Democrat who thought highly of his brothers. The Kennedy's are rich, but they have suffered too, and now is a time for us to show class and to bless, rather than condemn.
