Farewell, Elizabeth! There are many among us who have admired your courage and your strength and, yes, your
resilience. It's not easy to be a woman, especially as we hit middle age and beyond, even without the challenges that you yourself faced. Women are expected to weather life's disappointments and even its tragedies with an almost super-human grace; so your willingness to share with us the reality of living with the unlucky trifecta of bereavement/betrayal/illness was a much-appreciated gesture of compassion in an often unforgiving world.
Your race has been run, honorably and bravely, dear lady; go in peace.
Beautiful. Even though I knew it was coming, I still cried. She was such a shining inspiration of who I want to be.
ReplyDeleteResilience is THE life skill. Here's to those who grew stronger than they ever thought they'd have to be.
ReplyDeleteShe really was something--and she will be missed terribly.
ReplyDeleteAmen. Bless her.
ReplyDeleteRequiescat in pace!
ReplyDeleteShe was a class act.
ReplyDeleteShe was amazing...so very sad.
ReplyDeleteI would happily have supported her for President.
ReplyDeleteToo bad so many of these political wives are the woman beind the man - they have proven to be such better people.
