I didn't watch much of the Kennedy funeral yesterday because I was too busy but I did pick up some news and my daughter filled me in on some facts that I missed.
Too many times, we stress the negative in a person's life and downplay the positive traits. Senator Kennedy has been a victim of being judged in a negative light by a lot of people. It is my understanding that the people who knew him well respected him.
It is common knowledge that he was somewhat of a wild man in his youth but he made up for it in his later years. If your family adores you, and all of his family adored him, then you can bet he was a good man. He became the kind of man that the family could depend on. All families need that. When the world has gone to hell in a handbasket, there needs to be someone in our lives who provides understanding and support.
Sure, he made some bad mistakes in his life. How many of us haven't? Extremely liberal? Yes. But we should not hold that against him.
