Eunice Kennedy Shriver died yesterday. The Kennedy's have been in the news for generations here in the United States and all over the world. Unfortunately, it has been mostly because of their tragic and untimely deaths. I won't recount them all, I don't have too, you know the stories and headlines.
But yesterday another Kennedy passed away and this one is not tragic or dramatic. It was the end of the life of Eunice Kennedy Shriver. She lived a full life. A life with a purpose that brought joy and purpose to so many people. A "special" people, people with disabilities. Driven by her own sister's disabilities, Eunice Kennedy Shriver spent a major portion of her life starting, funding, and supporting the Special Olympics. What a great venue and a place where dominance comes in the form of humility and competition gives way to unity.
Eunice's life was lived with a purpose and it will go on long after her. It is nice to celebrate her life instead of mourning a tragic death. She was a bright spot on a family that needed one.
Just my thoughts.
Take care,
Rod
