Sorrow

Photos are very deceptive. They catch just a glimpse. At this point we don't know if Victoria Kennedy is just exhausted, or disappointed over the rainy weather, annoyed at a minor dropped detail, or if, just for a fraction of a second she let her true feelings come out.

When my mom buried her father she was a rock just about the entire time. But when we got into the church and they started to lead the coffin down the aisle she broke, just a bit, for the first and only time.

What a wonderful day of memorial for an incredible man. I was especially touched by Teddy Jr's eulogy. Just beautiful. Touching, heartbreaking and inspirational. And funny -- a little bit of Al Franken in him, if I'm not mistaken. I want to know more about him and his work.

For all of Teddy's accomplishments and status, what really came through today was the only thing that really matters in the end. He was loved, and beloved, deeply, by family, friends and others. Because he gave it, apparently, fully and freely.

"I know you can do it. There is nothing you can't do." What a thing to have that kind of love and support in your life.
