I am sad to say that I am not into Politics, I never have been. I feel that no matter what you say or want, someone else is just going to make whatever decision they are going to and that is going to be that. However, I have seen pieces of the debates over the years and have loved Jack Layton's face. He has always struck me as a man with a very kind heart, honest and fair. I have always felt that he had both Canada and Canadians in his best interests. I know all the politician's and their parties and knew this morning when I heard that it was Jack who passed away after his second battle with cancer. I have felt a sadness and a loss inside of me today for a man I did not know.
The open letter he wrote to All Canadians brought tears to my eyes, a pull on my heart and made me feel even prouder than ever to be a Canadian. It was in reading this letter that I truly understood how much Jack loves Canada and what he wanted and still wants for our beautiful country.
My heart goes out to his wife children and loved ones. A loss like this is never easy no matter how much you try to prepare. GOD speed Jack...GOD speed.
Jack's Letter...

Love
Today is my 3rd year anniversary with the most wonderful man I have ever known. It took me what feels like a lifetime to find him and I'm never gonna let him go!
I was speaking with a very good friend today who is having some problems. We were speaking about our younger years and dating, we were asking ourselves "how do you know?" How do you know when you have met the right man, how do you know when you should move in together, get married, have a baby or children? How do you know when you should give up? You can think you know someone and date them and you never realize how lazy they are, how much they go out with their friends, how much they drink, how moody they are. How unhappy do you have to let yourself get before you let go? When you have children, how long do you hang on for them? Or do you?
I have never been one to stay with anyone who makes me unhappy and I have been criticized for it. You only live one life, why stay with someone who makes you so unhappy? why waste days, months, years with anyone who doesn't bring happiness, joy, love to you. I left someone with a year old baby without any hesitation, upon leaving I felt free, happy, content, I felt like I was being the best mother I could be to my son by being the best I could be for myself.
Had I stayed in that relationship, where would I be today? I sure wouldn't be with the man I am with now living the life and love I have always dreamed of and even more so deserve.
What could you be missing?
