The hormones I have been so wholeheartedly trying to pretend do not exist reared their ugly head this morning during the Today Show....damn you Matt Lauer! I have such a celebrity crush on you, but this was too much.
They did a segment on Elizabeth Edwards, which would have been enough to make me cry in and of itself, but it got worse...way worse. They said in the story how Elizabeth wanted to be buried next to her son who died in a car wreck at the age of 16. He died the summer between his junior and senior year in high school and, a few days after the accident, his summer reading list came in the mail. Elizabeth bought all of the books on the list and, for 6 months, went to his grave every day and read them all to him.
To me, that is the epitome of a mother's love.
Okay, crying again...crazy hormones, grrrrrrr.
