Poor Caroline Kennedy

Caroline Kennedy is four years older than I am. She has been in the public eye all of her life. As far as my memory goes, she has done an outstanding job of being a good human being. But how much does one person have to endure?

She lost her father by assassination at the age of five. Then her uncle and godfather five years later in the same horrific way. Her mother remarried an older man, she told her cousin she did not like, and gets moved out of the country during her adolescent years. She lost her 65 year old mother when she was 43 and her only sibling, John two years later in a tragic plane crash with his young wife.

Now her middle child, Tatiana, has passed away at 35, leaving two children without their mother.

As if all of this is not enough, she has a crazy cousin in RFK and now the current office holder of the White House has slapped his name, illegally above her father’s on the Kennedy Center Memorial.

Through all this she stands strong and calm, but good Lord, Caroline deserves a break. I pray that she does not have to endure another tragedy for the rest of her years. Seems like she has had more than her share too early.
