Todays quote comes from Michael J. Gerson. The journalist and speechwriter died yesterday of kidney cancer at age 58. His last column for the Washington Post was published on the day of his death. In it he had this to say about what being a father had taught him about life.
“Parenthood offers many lessons in patience and sacrifice. But ultimately it is a lesson in humility. The very best thing about your life is a short stage in someone else’s story. And it is enough.”
Mr. Gerson is seen here in 2001 standing in front of the White House where he was a speechwriter for GWB (43). See the full story, here.
