I believe Senator Kennedy did buy himself a little bit of time, whether by aggressive medical treatment or just sheer willpower. At least enough to see some things through and say goodbye to those close to him. I wish he could be here to champion Healthcare legislation through the Senate. Instead, let's hope everyone can rise to the occasion in his honor. Thanks for your comments, Splash (I’m sure you know you share your name with the Senator’s beloved dog Splash).

Unfortunately, it appears that the negative reviews are far outweighing the positives. It is sad that Teddy is remembered by most for Chappequiddick instead of the great words you just quoted. That being said, he is still a person, a person who died. Politics aside that is always a sad thing. And like any person with a spirit for life, Teddy struggled to survive, using all the resources at his disposal to get the best possible care he could find; but in the end, although time is money, money could buy teddy no more time. http://splashinthepacific.wordpress.com/2009/08/26/the-power-of-money-the-sands-of-time/ Thank you for reminding us of those great words!

We're fortunate that he accomplished so much and lived so long. I love his books because the people he interviews have so many surprising and insightful things to say. Thanks for paying him tribute.
