I'm awe struck by John and Elizabeth Edwards. Much has been written about this already, but why not add a bit more to it- the decision to continue the campaign despite Elizabeth's illness is their's alone and I personally give them a lot of credit for fighting on. But the bottom line, it's not my place to judge whether it's good or bad, except whether it can negatively impact the country if Edwards is elected. But that decision will be made at the ballot box, not on this blog.

But that's not what makes me admire them. Have you looked at a picture of them lately? Is there anything phony about how they look at each other, their chemistry, and their love for each other? There really are no words to describe it, besides for describing it as the epitomy of what love in a marriage should be like. Considering their age and what they've been through together-- the normal trials and tribulations of marriage, not to mention illness, the tragic death of a child, a political campaign-- you know it's nothing superficial. They didn't just get married to justify the googley-eye-ness of what's going on between them. Have you ever seen this between a presidential candidate and his wife?

How can you not admire that? How can you not look at those pictures and wish that regardless of what God throws your way, in 30 years, you too can be looking at your spouse with the same devotion, commitment, and love the same way the Edwards do today?
