Our hearts and prayers go out to Tony Snow in his hour of pain, as well as to Elizabeth Edwards both of whom show the true meaning of the word courage. Putting politics aside, Tony Snow is a stand-up guy who possesses, in good measure, both humor and grace. And, after all, what can be more appropriate than to put politics aside, and celebrate the deep humanity that unites us all.
As one who has looked mortality in the eye, I can tell you that precious little matters, in the final analysis, not one's stand on the war, or on government spending, but whether one can see, and convey, the ray of light that surfaces after the storm passes, as well as that adversity is a challenge, and defeat is merely a matter of perspective.
