1. It's OK. It just makes you more special than you already are. For those of us who
"got" what John Edwards was all about.... this is bittersweet and hard to take.....so many being left behind.

One thing Edwardian's share for certain, is that we have a deep and abiding understanding that in this country of plenty...there are plenty that don't have.

Bless you and know that you have a soul sister in Ohio sharing your tears.

:loveya:

4. Thanks Rocky, I'm trying :-/
I don't think I've ever believed in something quite as much as I did in this campaign...it gave me REAL hope. I'm feeling rather disillusioned with politics in general right now.

:hug:

10. Yeah, it's like the first time I got knocked out-
When I came to my Dad looked at me and said, "Hurts doesn't it?"

This hurts more.

7. I know ninga,
I woke up to the news. Zak, our One Corps Captain called me at 6:30. So for me, I'm in my first hour and a half of finding out. Still a little numb, and I'm having problems making my fingers listen to my brain, so typing is a bit tough.

It takes me a while to process things sometimes, maybe I'll be able to better sort this all out with some time. Who knows?

6. He was my one hope...not only for my daughter, but others.
I'm rather devastated. Good luck everyone. If this is true - and I'm hoping he is punking the media - I'll be away for a while. Can't watch the other two camps tear one another apart for the near future.

9. How awesome would it be if 1:00 came
and he was like "Just kidding, I just wanted to get more coverage than the other two for a minute"

8. I've been crying on and off now for an
hour - and it is bullshit. Don't feel like an idiot, that's what happens when your heart breaks.
