This is truly a sad day not only in politics but way beyond that. Anyone who believes, advocates or honors social rights and equality has to acknowledge the impact that Senator Kennedy had on this world. It is amazing to think that he is gone, but it is even more amazing to see the amount of people who have come to Roxbury to commemorate the life of this man. You can truly feel the love that has manifested itself here. He is truly an American hero and his impact will stretch way beyond his death. We have a responsibility to keep his mission alive and to inspire others and instill in others the ability to hope. Until its inate to hope and dream in every child in this world we can not rest. The most important impact we can make in this world is to change others lives poitively and he has done just this. Marian Wright Edelman's said it best. "Service is the rent we pay to be living. It is the very purpose of life and not something you do in your spare time." Thanks Ted for reminding us all, we will miss you.
