RIP Ted Kennedy

[domino43]

I caught the news last night while I was flipping through channels. In fact, in the middle of the night I almost got up to post about it, but decided against it. Until I fell asleep and all today I can't shake this weird feeling. My heart keeps telling me 'No. Ted Kennedy can't be dead.' I don't know why it's hitting me like this. It's not like I'm political at all. It's not like I knew him. Just, something keeps wanting me not to believe it. I know he'd been sick for a while now, and I didn't expect him to live much longer. It just seems that now that he's really gone, it shouldn't be so. I can't help but wonder what's going to happen to the Senate now. I mean, Ted was about the only one that could walk across the aisle and work with and really get the Republicans and Democrats to work together. Who's going to be that person that the Republicans actually respect enough to work with? We've had him looking out for us for 40 years, who's going to do it now? I don't know. I just feel like all kinds of things are going to go downhill in the country now.

I know! Really! I can't believe it either! :(

I also can't believe how many epic people died this summer. We should make a list, there'd be at least 10 people on it. This is insane.
