Tiger Woods and His Woodies

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

It’s everywhere. It’s all over the news. It was on Larry King last night. And I’m on the bandwagon with the rest of the world. I’m fascinated. I can’t turn away.

My love for Tiger Woods started many years ago. I’ve been a golfer for 15 years. Yes, it’s pathetic that after all these years, I can’t call myself a great golfer. But I switched to become a right handed golfer five years ago, and that was the onset of my demise. I love Tiger for his discipline, for his control, for his focus. He’s incredible to watch. He’s intense, regimented, competitive. To watch Tiger Woods play golf live is a true thrill. My husband and I flew to England to see the Ryder Cup a few years ago. He oozes appeal, he’s like a magnet. Seriously.

So here he is… PERFECT in every way. He– the ultimate athlete. Best golfer in the world, and probably the best that ever lived. Gazillionaire. His wife– gorgeous, sweet, soft spoken, quietly standing by her man at every tournament. Two beautiful kids.  Completely out of the tabloids and limelight. Never seen at clubs. Never seen drunk.  ALWAYS in control. Always private but courteous (except when he’s throwing himself or a club on the golf course, but hey, he’s the most competitive athlete in the world)! An image that’s as squeaky clean as Mr. Clean himself.

It’s Still Someone’s Dad…

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Well ladies, this week has been a sad one for our family. We lost my uncle to cancer and my husband’s grandfather all in a matter of days.

We received the call from the hospital at 2:35am this morning that my husband’s 92 year old grandfather had passed away. I knew that when I left the hospital last night, it was going to be the last time I would ever see him. He was a gentle man with a beautiful soul. And while I just told my husband 15 minutes ago on his way to the funeral home, “This should be about celebrating his life. He had a full life with many joys. He was lucid until yesterday, and he didn’t struggle till the very very end,” I still can’t get the picture out of my head of my father-in-law yesterday stroking his head, telling him that it was okay to go. That he didn’t have to fight anymore. That everything will be okay, and to go in peace.

And although he was 92, he was still someone’s dad, wife, brother, grandfather, great grandfather. And yesterday he was here, though he lay sleeping in a hospital bed, and today he is not.

So yes, when we lose someone at a ripe old age, we celebrate their life and reminisce about all the wonderful memories and funny stories, but we also have the right to be sad. This is every person’s right when they lose a loved one.

Elizabeth Edwards, A Woman On The Fence

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

When Elizabeth Edwards married John Edwards in 1977, she had but one request for her husband… that he be faithful to her. This was paramount to Elizabeth from day one. Unfortunately, we all know the outcome. I can only imagine her struggle living life on the fence with whether to stay or leave once she learned of his infidelities. She has recently documented some of those feelings in a new book, “Resilience.”

Let’s be honest, those people buying her memoirs, are probably looking for all the juicy details of her husband’s affair with videographer Rielle Hunter.  After all, former presidential candidate John Edwards  did not at all  seem the cheating type. He, the bright and charismatic possible future president. She, the devoted wife of 30 years who stood by her husband’s side during his entire campaign. Three beautiful children. The picture perfect family man.

But in fact, tragedy struck their family way before John’s betrayal. In 1996, their son Wade died in a car accident. And then years later, her breast cancer diagnosis, which is now in the terminal stage.
